Voka
Voka, born 1965, lives and works in the Lower Austrian
town of Puchberg
am Schneeberg. He coined the term "Spontaneous Realism" as a
trademark for his art. Voka defines this style as a revival of the significance
of contemporary art, a valued tradition in a new era, with a new interpretation
reflecting today´s spirit of the time. His distinctive style, emerging from the
dynamic of the moment, enables him to strikingly capture immediate reality
while the observer is able to palpably feel the imbedded movement. His ability
to create one of his paintings in a short space of time and with great dynamic,
he explained in a very simple way ´I have dealt with painting for a very, very
long time in a very slowly and intensively way.`
The basis of his artistic creations is rooted in
a decade-long altercation with the art of realism. As a youngster he was
already dealing very intensely with oil-painting. Back then he would often work
on a painting for several weeks. He researched the technique of the old masters
and appropriated them into his own intensive self-study. It was his first
contact with watercolour that made him realise that working quickly - which he
was almost forced to do when working outside as the colours dry so quickly -
could give his stroke more momentum and therefore enormous dynamic. With the
discovery of acrylic he was able to allow his solid basic knowledge of, not
only the meticulousness and `heavy`art of oil painting but also the `light`and
rapid technique of watercolour painting, to flow together to discover and
develop his own style of Spontaneous Realism.
