The Old masters reinterpreted

Tyrpaks inspiration til hans maleri findes blandt andet hos gamle, verdenskendte mestres kunstværker, som for eksempel; Durer, Rubens, Caravaggio, Velázquez, Goya, Krøjer og han siger:

 

”I dag kan jeg mærke at jeg igen begynder at nærme mig tidligere mestres univers/problematik. 

Men ikke på samme måde som i min ungdom – i den periode hvor jeg studerede på akademiet og nysgerrigt lærte kunst at kende fra forskellige kunsthistoriske skuffer. I dag kigger jeg på tidlige mesterværker med en slags erfaringsbriller – som filtrerer, analyserer og til sidst viser ting, jeg aldrig tidligere kunne se, men som nu giver potentiale og inspiration til nye fortolkninger i nye maleriske udtryk og sprog.

Parafraser skal vise billeder hvor jeg udfordrer mig selv, konfronterer mig selv og forsøger at finde lighedstegn mellem det gamle og det nye, det anerkendte og det eksperimenterende.”

 

Ansigt til ansigt med store mestre søger Tyrpak at udfordre den kunstneriske konfrontation, tolke den og dermed gøre den levende, spændende og moderne. 

I hans kunstværker findes en nyudviklet form for liv i menneskers kroppe fra de gamle malerier, der udgøres af linjer, flader og punkter, som fungerer i spændingsfeltet mellem modsætninger.

 

De vellykkede parafraser hviler i den oplevelse, at det oprindelige kunstværk kan genkendes i det nye, og man derfor ser ligheder og forskelle på tværs af tid og sted.

 

Tyrpaks udtryk er præget af en heftig, ekspressiv teknik, hvor motivet bygges op i lag af penselstrøg og spartlede partier, af overmalinger og fremhævelser, af koloristisk kraft og nedtoning, af kontrast og harmoni. Udtrykket ligger naturligt nok langt fra de store mestres valører, stofimitation og detaljer.

 

Tyrpaks kunstneriske arbejder er et eksempel på, hvor svært det at være  kunstner med kunsthistoriske syn i moderne civilisation er, og det lykkes for ham at gøre sin kunst til et organ for andres følelser, - der hvor man mødes med det romantiske tema og moderne realiteter.

Han søger tilbage i den store fortid hvor vi kan få hjælp til at opdage vores egne rødder af nutidens kunst.
