Ivan Pavle (born March 8, 1955)[1] is a Slovakian painter.[2]

Life

Pavle was born on March 8, 1955, in Galanta, Slovakia, to Matej Pavle and Alžbeta Pavleová. Growing up in Prievidza with his two brothers, Matej and Slavomír, he completed primary school in Prievidza in 1970. After attending high school in Tvrdošín, Pavle studied engineering before graduating and going on to study fine art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava under professors Dezider Castiglione and Ivan Vychlopen. He graduated in 1981,[3] and married his Fine Arts classmate, Soňa Oravcová. They have two children. Since then, Pavle has pursued an artistic career focused on painting, drawing, graphics, and sculpture.[4][5]

Style and methods

Figurative painting, nudes, torsos and faces covered by masks characterize Pavle’s paintings and drawings.[6] The representation of human body is further reinforced by emphasising the gestures, body shapes in motion and relationship studies of two and more characters.[2][7]

Another major and recurring theme in Pavle’s work is mythology, which is demonstrated in an ongoing cycle of paintings about Babylon,[8] as well as in other art pieces, showing fictitious landscapes and mysterious characters with animal features.[9]

His work is noted for its intensity and distinctive style. Pavle cherishes the legacy of the finest artworks of the past, and employs old and often obsolete techniques in combination with his own specific artistic processes.[10] His work combines knowledge of tradition and respect for the material while also focusing on contemporary content.[11]

Monograph

In 2015, the Herial publishing house published a large Slovak-English monograph titled "Pavle", written by fine art theorist Ivan Jančár. In this book, Jančár writes about Pavle's work: "His painting expression was not aimed at the search for a fashionable expression, but at the essence of artistic creation. Painting merged with his life - he was always a painter with strong self-discipline. From the beginning he was an exemplary figuralist, he studied matter, analyzed the possibilities of decomposition of this matter, movement or its sequences. He depicted human emotions in relaxed mental states. It didn't matter whether the figures had a distinctly expressive or meditative character, they always had a strong expression with a thorough knowledge of anatomy."[12][13]
