The primary issue of Logar’s language is evident in transcendence, the raising of the formal and chromatic decorative values to the level of a newly felt expressively.His “hard-edge” outlines, inspired by organic/vegetal, figural,anthropomorphic and zoomorphic forms, and framed by geometric forms, would remain, with their optimal volutes, a well thought-out contrast of formal and chromatic variation, and primarily an exemplary, aesthetically refined pattern which pleases our sense of harmony and rhythm.Perhaps a kind of exotic fabric with intonations of oriental, or rather pre-Columbian American aboriginal cultures.The artist manages, howewer, to suffuse this magnificent fabric with the power of radiance, so that every single particle expresses a visual, artistic verbally spellbinding the viewer in a very unique way.The tension of spiral shapes; the density that they deploy; the counterpoint of formally and chromatically expressive features in a resonantly harmonious variation, matching and confrontation; the release of radiation of these mostly extremely large canvases.The effort of “mantaining tension” troughout the almost three-meter-long canvases is an achievement that brings a new, different quality and grandiosity.These works be admired and appreciated by those who understand the feeling of precisely such “transition from quantity to a new quality”, which is so succesfully utilized by modern painting.
