작품 상세

acrylic on canvas, 200,5 x 240,5 cm, verso signed, dated and inscribed: JAN MERTA 98 ALFIN POMUZE ALFIN WILL HELP, verso further signed and dated: Jan Merta 98, verso exhibition label Wannieck Gallery. Provenance: Wannieck Gallery, Brno; Richard Adam Gallery. The gray head of Alfin the dog emerges from the center of the canvas. Although the monochrome tones seem to blend into one, the outline of the dog appears clearly and becomes a messenger of a hidden message in the painting. The monochrome canvas is a kind of visual language that allows the viewer to interpret the image in their own way.
