An analysis of the аrt project " WAR and PEACE”

War and Peace - the new independent exhibition of Artist IOAN – one undoubtedly talented аrtist.

The exhibition was represented in The City art gallery of Burgas .

It acts upon entirely thought over and lived through. There are moments of loud decibels, but also of silence and calmness, with lot of messages and questions. To all and personally to each one of us . About the pain, about the empathy, about the aggression and the war among us and inside us… Especially about the war inside us , against the spiritual emptiness and indifference, against the mediocrity, against the reluctance for change. And about the humane, that makes us active. About The Peace inside us .

The works of IOAN are provocative as share and colour. A pulsing expression reaching to aggression. Even to crudeness, because the creative expression is almost instantaneous, like erupting.  The paints are lava formatting itself, calmly streaming or layer powerful. It brings a lot of emotionality and power – a modern and free from of expression. And also uncovering of the soul, that assumes and looks for the same in the audience. But it's a dialogue about the true sense of life and the reason for its grayness. At the exposition there is an interweaving of problems common to all mankind and of personal character. The questions are difficult, but the answer are more difficult, because they too personally promising.

Through the activity of his Foundation ''St.Stefan'' Becarelli dives an answer to many of these gathered questions. He proves in an irrefutable way his position and human empathy. A lot of people have received his help and compassion and mostly faith in good. Faith in Peace! Homes for old people, orphanages. That is something that deserve to be supported, and for the finding a shelter here – to ask awkward questions. Many are mad for materiality the questions are to them too. To help, to give a little joy to the downtrodden! … To feel the tears of joy and garniture in there eyes. Not to lose the faith in good….In God!

Under the power of talent he has, the artist lead himself by the inside pulsations – intention to express himself vividly, boldly. A necessity, that he can't live without it…The colours and the shapes are harsh and primary, but that is his Power.

Youth, energy and thought – merged in one. That is the Artist IOAN,  individual explosively, aggressive in his expression, without being a slave to stereotypes. He uncovers his soul, he asks questions, sometimes awkward. And he is waiting for an answer. Not for himself! The title of his works are the key to the essence of these messages – pictorial erupting. The square of the canvas is in dissonance with the expressive shape and the vivid coloring. Aggression and Peace in the World , inside us – with the pains, passions and victims – all that lives in his works. The message , coming from the title of the exhibition, it seems to carry the idea itself: t to have peace. To be the Love – that God gave us for our existence of the Earth.
