Emil Lukas, "cold slope #1371," 2014, paint and ink on canvas over wood panel, 52 x 64 x 1 3/4 inches
With his latest body of work, EMIL LUKAS situates himself in a lineage of modern artists interested in surmounting their own conscious creative intentions. Collages of found material by PABLO PICASSO, GEORGES BRAQUE and Kurt Schwitters, like the notorious "readymades" of Marcel Duchamp, allowed chance or mass-produced materials to determine details of novel artworks.
