Franc Vozelj is contemporary slovene figural painter. Described as a follower of new age expressionism, Vozelj creates work that appears realistic at a glance but is revealed to be distorted upon closer inspection. To accomplish this effect, Vozelj uses a wide array of abstract elements and paints with vague blocks of color. Furthermore, he frequently utilizes heavy contours on his figures which adds to the sense of abstraction. By submitting to this style of painting, his work is rife with emotion.
What I like most about his art is the soft, dynamic, and angular nature of his painting style. To explain, the texture of his pieces is mostly composed with short broad block-like strokes. This makes the figure look slightly abstracted. His color palette, on the other hand, is typically made up of calm natural colors; the kind you would expect from realist work. When combined, the overall figure appears both natural and abstract at the same time. It's certainly an interesting method.
