Jüri Kask
1973-1977
Jüri Kask (b 1949) is an Estonian painter, sculptor and graphic artist who graduated from Estonian National Art Academy painting department. The artist originates from the modernist tradition and Geometric Abstractionism is characteristic to his art throughout his career. In 2018, Kask received the Konrad Mäe prize. The jury praised his modern, witty and aesthetic work. The motif of this artwork, a cannon from which people are ejected, has been compared to the work Kahurid by Eduard Wiiralt. When opening his personal exhibition Laammaal in 2023, the artist considered himself a young artist at the age of 70, because the history of painting is so long that the process takes time.
Jüri Kask (s 1949) on Eesti maalikunstnik, skulptor ja graafik, kes on lõpetanud ERKI maalikunsti eriala. Kunstnik lähtub modernistlikust traditsioonist ning tema kunstile on karjääri jooksul omane geomeetriline abstraktsionism. 2018. aastal pälvis Kask Konrad Mäe preemia. Žürii kiitis tema kaasaegset, teravmeelset ning esteetilist loomingut. Käesoleva teose motiivi kahurit, kust inimesed välja paiskuvad on võrreldud Eduard Wiiralti teosega “Kahurid”. 2023. aastal oma isikunäitust “Laammaal” avades pidas kunstnik ennast 70-aastaselt alles nooreks kunstnikuks, sest maalikunsti ajalugu on nii pikk, et protsess võtab aega.
