Prachensky remains Prachensky
Fascinating how this artist, born 1932, creates an extraordinary, distinctive painting with only a few “strokes” – which are more like thick lines. His works can currently be admired at the exhibition at the Gallery Ulysses. However, his typical style not only brings forth individual and wonderful compositions, but also numerous less notable works, which are still solid and a pleasure to behold, but not as compelling. Some of these works are also presented, positioned next to the grandiose central canvas hung in the main hall, and offering a logical framework.
His only work on paper, despite its small format, is very appealing: it proves that this artist, who is mainly known for his large canvas paintings, also masters the small, intimate format. All in all, this is a pleasurable, but not a groundbreaking exhibition. Prachensky remains Prachensky; even if one would at times wish that he would try out new things.
