Valdur Ohakas

In many ways a strange and atypical painting in the work of Valdur Ohakas, while still representing his so-called avant-garde period. The key to the painting is probably the position of the man when viewed from behind and his dominant body language, as well as the shadow that is larger than the man himself. The colouring is very meager, marking the brightly lit structure at which the action takes place. Perhaps this is also about humour or self-irony. The oeuvre of Valdur Ohakas includes his earlier modernist works of the 1960s, which sought artistic innovation.
