REVIEWS
“From
somewhere out of the depths of our history, memory and collective human
experience come the images of
Frank
Jalsovsky, images which speak of the commonality of human origin, and of
our universal destination. These
works resonate with the powerful message of the interconnectedness of all
forms of existence, linking lessons of past, present and future into a
compelling amalgam of ultimate spiritual discovery.”
Carol
Nymark, B.A., B.F.A
Executive Director
Malaspina Printmakers Studio and Gallery
Vancouver, BC, Canada
“Frank is a
rare bird on the Vancouver art horizon.
Superbly trained in the best European traditions of intaglio
printmaking (etching, aquatint, mezzotint) at the Bratislava Academy of
Fine Arts, and gifted with a sure hand and vigorous temperament, Frank is
bound to leave his mark on the North American art scene.”
Irina
Florov
Fine Artist
Vancouver, BC, Canada
“He is kind of “Spiritual Crusader” of the
nineties, seeking meaning and order in our ever chaotic, noisy and
materialistic existence on this planet.
The expression of ‘the spiritual’ is clearly evident in his
works, whether they are sparse, or moody and contemplative.
His later works are symphonic in their scale of content,
undertaking, and execution and lead one to believe that they are truly
cosmological.”
Vincent
Sheridan
Fine Artist
Doublin, Ireland
“The artwork of Frank Jalsovsky conveys a profoundly humane message; that is why his artwork is very valuable and why it touches us so deeply.”
Dr.
Doc. Igor Kiss
Bratislava, Slovakia
“Jalsovsky’s art can be described as remarkable for its originality and the means in which it is expressed. In all his work, you can feel the efforts to render human feelings and man’s timeless struggle with nature and himself, and to express the longing to surpass the frontier of human possibility.”
