Eugen Varzić is a painter who is constantly doing shows in the whole series of themes, which is the common denominator is a high awareness of the visual point or the postmodern breakthrough that figure, and inserts of various episodes of Figurative expressed sequences or parts of some scenes of which are caves composition. It is not particularly difficult to understand the author as a figurative, whose foundations were built of visually significant experience that is rich art history. His work, however, far from being quoted. The author is reflected in the themes and possible access to a completely new character clearly related to the artist's thoughts, life and present. In this present, which is traditionally the Eugene's painting, themes and motifs in different ways to illustrate the author and people that surrounds him, also contain visual narratives that are already read as prophetic, and that element is present largely in the author's compositions especially the larger formats since the days of independent exhibitions in Porec palace Zuccato, should be given as a continuous colorit which is contained and connects the author's themes.

Eugene is the author of a new generation of images ( new image painting, nuova imagine ), and in that it recognized the local and abroad. Different experiences which the artist uses creativeness, preventing him precisely defined, but certainly his paintings of this cycle contains many of the elements important for contemporary art moment. From Expressionism toward a new neobaroque, many elements of different styles can recognize the author's creativeness, and they transavangard, that due to the nature of creativity Eugen posttransavangard be a good call. From all this, it is much more important artist's inclination survey allow permanent enrichment Repertory and impressive artistic vision of figurative speech. One of these elements are important icons and moments of modern mass culture that impressed with their meaning in a contemporary context in society.

Furthermore, as is the author of Eugene, is interested in the traditional relations and figurative nepredmetnog, ethics and aesthetics, and in particular relation to kitsch. In this sense, the cycle is very important because it includes issues with which visual artists are very rarely caught in fight, but of such givens can be crucial to understanding of deterministic chaos is all around us. Visual "Circus" Eugene Varzic not chaos, but amongst other things, talking about chaos. Everything, even the least of the head where it is in the visual narrative should have a tail. For this second plan figures appear hero and heroine which personalized testify about intimate and relevant social values of the author's art.

Memento mundi

It is neither haughty nor arrogant to define three whole decades of inhaling, touching, listening, tasting and observing that magical mystery known as life. Varzić achieves this with sensation and gratitude. Almost obediently and almost piously. From times immemorial. Since he can remember. That is why this exhibition has become an exhibition of reminiscences and feelings. It is both simultaneous and unifying. Temporal and untemporal. Anachronous and anticipative, undoubtedly with a stamp of present times. It is memento mundi. And memento mori. And Augustine’s “memory of oblivion”.Figurative and narrative artist of pop art provenance today is a poet of the metaphysical and symbolic in the painting of memory. He is a skilful user of historic quotations in a historic and environmental context provocatively and directly offered to him by Poreč. As an impetus and confirmation. By its “age-old town planning...until the reality that constantly obsesses our urban existence”./ Jerica Ziherl in the catalogue of the art colony Riviera, Poreč 2000/. So, the urban iconography and historic scenography of Poreč with Varzić’s replicas of elements by the repetitive, wordless scenario of static features are the backbone of the exhibition. In such a complex and multi-layered painting-sculpture assemblage the artist’s aim is also visible. It is somewhat concealed by the commensality of past, present and future times, but in the end it seeks to attain peace and harmony. In this “fortunate and skilful union of ethics and aesthetics” /Branko Mrkušić, ”Glas Istre” 2001/ Varzić follows his inner rhythm, but the town’s historic pulse as well. He sets free his inventiveness by feeding on urban inventory from the lapidarium, ancient inscriptions of greetings and prayers, fragments of secular and sacred architecture, heraldic signs and symbols of notable and past middle-class families of Poreč. He combines the technique of bas or high relief which he applies as a vertical and horizontal, identically repeated impression and trace of human and animal presence on /before and after/ painted canvas. As a static and symmetrical, still exciting, sequence - frieze in a stable compositional scheme.From the luscious, “baroque” condensed colorist Varzić moves to a serene palette, tonally elaborates it by values that subtly pass into the gentle whiteness of non-color. With the artist’s intention of subsiding and submitting to the message/will, which supports responsibility and conscience of civilized man, pleads for tradition that remembers and does not obliterate, inclining finally towards memory that respects continuity.The multiplication process is used both as a game, and correlation between the conscious and subconscious. As absence and presence. As being and not being in the duration of time and space. But at the same time also as an element of communication, which is of vital and optimistic importance. Since he is basically a candid and kind, active and engaged creator and promoter who in both cases needs echo as resonance.And as seizer of signs of the past, certainly with a sensibility of our times, he has touched the painter’s inspiration and credibility of top-level artisan’s skill. For such a youthfully round occasion more than enough. All accompanied by the ardent and admirable zeal of an unselfish Street Art-ist of Poreč.

Eugene is at the very beginning he showed his personal attitude, desire, determination, direction to a particular art - not art opinions are interwoven. A perception that belongs to the horizon is usually called the irrational, subconscious, supernatural ... in the form of artistic expression resembles naive.

The delicate time in the first years of study (receiving a lot of information) proved the sincerity and authenticity of their inclinations. Weirdos and stubborn usually considered a formal educational program of art objects art high schools. Some programs do not adopt, and some only partially. Eugene seems to be in a real extent, managed to merge his own identity in the fiction world view, a formal program of art and consciousness, the experience ultimately, results, and that the feature is something which is layered as visual art - art space - visual language. Within the art uses two Global opposite ways: a strong tone light - and strong contrasts of dark colored (complementary) contrasts, the strong visual dynamics.

Contrary to the pure elements of the organization is static, a balance achieved symmetry. And yet, according to the quantity and type of art elements (sound, color, line, modeling) images are complicated and complex. I hope that Eugene will soon, like most artists fall into the pattern, the pattern of repetition, the adopted method of painting expression. It is much harder to be open, seek the means to discover - to ask yourself questions ...
