Jan Astner runs a permanent project - he paints an endless series of abstract cityscapes. He systematically records portraits of visited cities. The project has been going on for several years. There are new works every year . VOLUPTUOUS TOWNS - a series of abstract cityscapes is the artist's travel diary. Each picture is a record of the feelings that accompanied the visit, discoveries and experiences.
The entire series of abstract cityscapes is painted with a printing method. Jan Astner does not use a brush to create these works. He is creatively looking for new painting tools. These are often items found while traveling. Souvenirs from visited cities. Paintings from the VOLUPTUOUS TOWNS series refer to cubism, macro pointillism, process painting. The works are very rich and multi-layered. The structure of the painting can be studied many times. Each viewer will notice different details, discover something new. This wealth comes from the painting technique. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of characters. From small dots and lines to large areas of imprinted acrylic paint.
