Ceannaithe ón ealaíontóir in 2013


Is duine toirmeascach é Boris Bućan a rinne an léiriú ar chleachtais agus ar aeistéiticí comhaimseartha a chur chun cinn ina thír dhúchais. Bhí sé i mbun staidéir ag Scoil na nEalaíon Feidhmeannach i Ságrab, ag Acadamh na nAmharc-Ealaíon i Liúibleána agus ag Acadamh na nEalaíon Plaisteach i Ságrab, áit ónar bhain sé céim amach in 1972. Mar bhall de ghlúin an Chleachtais Ealaíne Nua, d’fhéach Bućan le hardú céime a thabhairt don amharc-ealaín trí úsáid a bhaint as teicneolaíochtaí ceannródaíocha. Is é sin an t-údar, dá bhri sin, lena dhul i muinín na grianghrafadóireachta, grianghraif de dhéanamh Polaroid, fótachóipeanna, scannáin, dearadh físeáin agus dearadh grafach ar feadh a ghairmréime. Chabhraigh na huirlisí sin leis an ealaíontóir dul i mbun coimeádaíochta ar theanga amhairc nua a bhí lonnaithe in áit éigin idir íoróin na Pop-Ealaíne agus cáineadh institiúideach na gcleachtas Coincheapúil. Trí oiriúnú a dhéanamh ar na cóid fógraíochta, d’fhéadfadh saothar ealaíne Bućan an dánlann a fhágáil agus lonnú go nádúrtha ar shráideanna an phobail, áit inar léir go raibh luí aige leis. Bhí idirghabhálacha poiblí ríthábhachtach ó thaobh cháil an ealaíontóra de a bhuanú, amhail nuair a rinne sé pábháil sráide i lár Shágraib a dhathú gléghorm. Chun a chleachtas grafach a léiriú, bhain Bućan úsáid as lógónna agus siombailí an tomhaltachais chaipitlíoch, go simplí tríd an bhfocal ‘ealaín’ a chur in ionad ainmneacha branda. Leis an athrú seo, a bhí bunúsach ach a raibh tionchar ag baint leis freisin, ceistíodh an aidhm a bhi leis an dá íomha (an leagan bunaidh agus an leagan ealaíonta), agus cíoradh á dhéanamh ag an am céanna ar an gcóras dánlainne a bhí, diaidh ar ndiaidh, ag déanamh ‘earraí’ marsantacha de shaothair ealaíne. Cé go bhfuil diptic Pharlaimint na hEorpa ar chuid den saothar is déanaí a tháinig uaidh, tá a cholláis shuaitheanta ar an stíl ghrafach fós le tabhairt faoi deara go folaithe – leis an gcúlra neodrach, an pheirspictíocht sceabhach agus leis an úsáid a bhaintear as patrúin shrathacha.
