Valdur Ohakas

Flowers and fruits painted with generalisation, probably influenced by the current painting trend to focus on the painting’s surface itself and pigment textures. Modernist conception of painting in the sense that the artist contributes to the problem of painting itself, using flowers and lemons and pears rather as an excuse to find interesting and new painting solutions with their help. The oeuvre of Valdur Ohakas includes his earlier modernist works of the 1960s, which sought artistic innovation.
