Surrealist Painting on Reverse Glass by Ico Kovačić

A fine mixed-media surrealist or abstract painting on reverse glass by listed Croatian artist, Ico Kovačić, on glass. The image is painted in the manner of several by famous Salvador Dali. Ico Kovačić is one of the artist who helped develop the Croatian Naïve Art which is known the world over for its intense colors, interesting subject matter and for the fact that it is painted on the back side of a normal pane of glass and viewed through the front! It is often produced by self taught farmer artists, although today there are others painting in a, perhaps, more sophisticated style. Originally this began as a form of “protest” art as the artists were painting scenes showing the repressive government under which they lived. The subject matter has evolved to include almost anything, yet often revolves around everyday life on the farm. Today, Ico Kovacic and many other Croatian artists are recognized the world over as having taken this art form to its highest level.
