Oil on canvas Slownia, 1996 Valentin Oman (b. 1935) - Austrian painter and sculptor Signed and dated with black felt tip on verso 'Oman 96' as well as titled 'Licht und Schatten [...]' Provenance: Private collection, Slovenia Dimensions: 60 x 40 cm Good condition In his works Valentin Oman examines the human being with all its possible, tangible and perceptible variations; the auction record for one of his paintings currently sets at around €12,300 Valentin Oman's paintings are characterized by numerous layers of paint, hiding and gradually unveiling various possible scenarios. The human being, or rather the search for an archetype of all being, is designated as the central motif of the painter's artistic approach. The present work is titled 'Licht und Schatten [...]' (Light and Shadow) and reveals that characteristic mysterious color density, which gives us the impression that the painting keeps countless traces of the past and thus the opportunity to find out something about the subconscious. The painting is signed and dated with black felt tip on verso 'Oman 96' as well as titled 'Licht und Schatten [...]'. It is in good condition; there is only a fine recently restored crease in the center. The size of the stretcher is 60 x 40 cm and the framed overall dimensions are 67.5 x 48 cm. Valentin Oman (b. 1935) Born in Austria, Valentin Oman started his artistic training at today's Universität für angewandte Kunst in Vienna and attended the master class of Hilda Schmid-Jesser (1894-1986), between 1958 and 1962. In 1963 he took a special course in printing under Riko Debenjak (1908-1987) in Ljubljana. Oman is a representative of early avant-garde art in Kärnten and has focused on ecclesiastical art. The human being is a central motif of his artistic output. His figures often appear in fragments or even dissolve in an undefined haze. His works are complex and often re-worked by the artist, in order to emphasize the feeling of depth. Valentin Oman is an Honorary Doctor of the Universität Klagenfurt and bears the First Class Cross of Honour for Science and Art. He lives and works in Finkenstein/ Bekštanj, Slowenia.
