By examining Stag’s collection, we notice an illustrative tree of art’s pulsating life with its roots deep, stem in the air, and the treetop - always striving towards the celestial, cosmic principal - sky high.
Henry collects paintings with diligence and, by using a visual hybrid, unifies what is at first glance non-unifiable. Established, excellent German and Croatian artists whose diverse poetics are connected by skill, craftsmanship, and the value of the presented visualisations.
It is a praiseworthy constitution and the intertwining of international hands.
Visual repertoire, by means of motives and exceptional art, ranges from hyper-image, pop-art variations, through harmonious and spiritual fantasies, optical hallucinations, all the way towards abstract emotional and mental conceptions and erotic sublimations - connecting what cannot be connected and harmonising what is seemingly disharmonious.
From the dawn of time there were creators and spectators. Painter’s action and spectator’s reaction to the painting.
We consider Henry Stag’s collection of paintings, adopted by consensus, as a narrow concept of image within its broadened sight.
