About
IVAR KAASIK - Paintings"Kaasik's spectrum of motifs ranges from stars, stylized into icons of film history, to idyllic landscapes, vivid portraits of people, plants or animals, all the way to strongly focused urban scenes. On seeing these paintings, terms like photorealism or even hyperrealism come to mind, because all the paintings demonstrate great artistry and precision in their execution. One realises that Kaasik works with rather reticent colours that lack any kind of assertive gleam, which is replaced by a kind of subtle veil or a blurring that is difficult to grasp for the eye. This subtlety that puzzles the beholder is one of the elements of Ivar Kaasik's mastery."
