Savor the moment, capture it, immortalize it.
Both Andrea Pernegr and Emil Toman paint the moment — painting in the moment.
They paint their emotions, their affection for the seemingly insignificant and, at the same time, the profoundly essential.
Both find themselves within the abstract depiction of the inexplicable. For in being human, everything is inseparably connected.
Andrea Pernegr draws her inspiration from her immediate surroundings. She transforms cherished everyday objects into diary-like visual narratives. She devotes her attention to the small, incidental details that in fact form the substance of a contented life. Her abstractions thus speak of the beauty of life and the joy of living.
What distinguished Emil Toman as a person, painter, and teacher was his uncompromising love of freedom. As a lover of nature, his greatest wish was to be in harmony with the universe. In order to render the surging waves of his emotions as authentically as possible, Emil Toman tirelessly experimented with new stylistic modes of expression and ultimately found his artistic home in Informel.
