Cumulations M 019, 2018

In the Accumulations series, thanks to the inclusion of social relations in the abstract formula and through the prism of the social actor's consciousness, the artist moves from presenting the relationships of individual elements to entire systems, surprises with a wealth of colorful and formal symbols. This makes these paintings visually intriguing and socially unique. Astner does this instinctively, trusting, and rightly so, his artistic intuition, thanks to which he obtains plastic ambiguity.
The chosen form: oval, does not stand for an unequivocal interpretation that is simple in its transmission and reception. Quite the opposite: underlying this choice of form is a dramatic visual and social metaphor. It is an abstract language, a language of form, color, multilayeredness, which communicates to the recipient its view of society.
As an individual and creator, Astner stands in front of the viewer, showing his reception of interpersonal relations, and the oval is a perfect medium for stimulating his imagination.
Mapping social relations in a painting is unique. In this context, the social theme of Accumulations is an indisputable advantage.
