| Title: | "Jointed Doll Nr.6 With Bugs", 1975. J.A.BRO. ©, (Antique porcelaine doll with jointed pappmache-body, ca. 1908) “Series of Two” (#*) | | Created: | October 1975. | | Material: | ORIGINAL: Mixed techniques on white, thick cardboard
SILK SCREEN, edition: 150 copies, hand signed by the artist, JABRO © | | Size: | 60 X 60cm. | Among others, this unique "Graphicpainting" is invented and created by JABRO as a combination of intertwined graphic and painting.
Within this unique conception, described by the artist as "Graphicpainting", (Graphic-Painting), she represents not only one, but five of her eleven inventions’ symbolic perceptions, (*) such as her "Contrast-Pair", "Reaching out of the Given Borders", as well "Crossed Mouths" and "Paintings in Painting", or"Pictures in Picture", but here shown without frame. ©.
This interesting painting has been created by JABRO with aid of different oppositional "Contrast-Pairs", since the horizontally, red/black patterned and giant "bugs" are becoming alive, by "scrabbling" out of the same, but vertically patterned, decorative background.
Through this thematically multilayered perception of the "big bugs’" unflinching march onto her legs, the dead piece of antique porcelain-doll becomes "alive", by symbolising humans in their feelings, such as shock, fear and disgust.
However, in this case the "awaked human" is not trying to save herself from those spiritual and dangerous symbols of alien intellectual and mental interference in form of visualised giant and destructive "bugs", pushing her into the right hand side other half of the masterwork’s composition.
In fact, the symbolised human in the doll is valuating the material things only, by just trying to save the delicateness of a gown, spon out of fine laces.
In summarizing, the thematic representation of JABRO’S two silk-screens are symbols of oppositeness as a wholeness, generally documented in all of her masterworks’ “Contrastpairs”. Though one can say that they are representing thesublimated invisible and immortal spirituality, as well the visible and tangible mortality.
