acrylic, canvas, 210 × 99 cm, signed. UD S. St. R. Filko - 1981Stano Filko is one of the most prominent and important personalities
Slovak avant-garde conceptual art after the war.
His work developed in the sixties and seventies
in the field of conceptual art, happening, performative
and environmental actions, associated with his own cosmological visions
and manifestos.
Filko used his own colour symbolism as a metaphor for his
philosophical interpretation of the world. Red signifies biological space, green
symbolizes the socio-political
space meant to be shared, white is the color
contemplation, ontological space and metaphysics, blue denotes
cosmic space, which is always connected to human space, and black
denotes the colour of the individual, the space of the subject.
Between 1981 and 1990 he lived in exile in Germany and the USA. After returning to
Slovakia, he created a unique artistic space from his studio
defined by five different colours and life themes.
