Slikarstvo i crteži Duška Šibla u kontinuitetu iskazuju snažan vitalistički implus, bez sumnje dramatsku i naglašeno emotivnu dionicu unutar suvremenog hrvatskog slikarstva – specifičan umjetnički rukopis koji se odupire teškim i tamnim trenucima današnjeg svijeta. Stilsko nasljeđe drugog vala europskog ekspresionizma kod ovog je umjetnika transformirano u auteničan likovni izričaj, u kojemu u svakom ciklusu slika možemo očitavati male, ali znakovite pomake i mijene: od elemenata stilskih mikrofragmenata do laganih oscilacija u dinamici i kompoziciji slike, kao i emotivno-duhovnom ozračju djela. Nije pretjerano ustvrditi kako su Šiblove studije ljudskog pokreta u zadnja dva desetljeća neka od najboljih djela tog žanra na našem umjetničkom obzoru. Karakterističan simultanitet obrisa kretnji androginih tijela prate perspektivne i anatomske nepravilnosti, koje umjetnik svjesno primjenjuje kao vlastiti manifest. Moram priznati kako je mnogim kritičarima dosta dugo trebalo da razumiju taj Šiblov umjetnički postupak: u nekim su anatomskim anomalijama brzopleto vidjeli nedostatak slikareva metijerskog savršenstva, ne prepoznajući kako umjetnik zapravo hipersenzibilno bilježi naša svakodnevna, vlastita fizička, emotivna, mentalna, duševna i erotska ograničenja i frustracije! Jer, ispod onog prvog sloja kolorističkog zanosa, vitalističkog hedonizma i izazovnih, dvosmislenih panseksualnih i erotičkih slika i motiva, Duško Šibl jednako tako postojano, analitički bilježi egzistencijalni grč suvremenog čovjeka. Duhovni raskol koji svakodnevno osjećamo i prepoznajemo u nizu društveno-kulturoloških situacija pronašao je svoje mjesto na mnogim novijim Šiblovim slikama, gdje se gotovo metafizička frustracija možda još i više pojačava u zagrljaju dvoje ljubavnika. Ples također više nije pozitivno intonirano sredstvo slav-
The paintings and drawings of Duško Šibl continuously express a powerful vital impulse, a doubtlessly dramatic and emphasised emotional stage within contemporary Croatian painting, a specific artistic signature which defies the difficult and dark moments in today’s world. In the case of this particular artist, the stylistic heritage of the second wave of European expressionism has been transformed into an authentic painting expression. Small but significant shifts and changes can be noticed in each of its cycles, from stylistic micro-fragments to slight oscillations of a painting’s dynamics and composition, as well as to the emotional-spiritual atmosphere of the pieces. As far as the Croatian artistic scene is concerned, it would not be an exaggeration to claim that Šibl’s work on human movement has yielded some of the genre’s best pieces over the last two decades. The characteristic simultaneity of his androgynous bodies’ motion contours exhibits certain irregularities concerning the point of view and anatomy, which the artist consciously applies as his own manifest. It is worth noting that numerous art critics took considerable time to understand Šibl’s artistic process; they were too hasty in noticing the lack of perfection in certain anatomical anomalies to recognise how hypersensitive this artist actually is in recording our everyday, personal physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and erotic limitations and frustrations. Furthermore, under that first layer of colourist fervour, vital hedonism and provocative, equivocal pansexual and erotic images and motifs, Duško Šibl, equally steadfastly, provides an analytical overview of the existential spasm in contemporary life. The spiritual schism which we feel on a daily basis and which we recognise in a series of socio-cultural situations has found its place in numerous new paintings by Šibl, where an almost metaphysical frustration is, perhaps, even intensified in two embracing lovers. Moreover, dance is no longer a positively coloured means of celebrating life or relaxing; rather, ac-

ljenja života ili opuštanja, već je po atmosferi na platnima bliži ideji dance macabre–a ili grozničavoj borbi da se metaforički zadržimo na površini ovog svijeta. Tomu u prilog govori i mijena u slikarskoj paleti, koja se od prigušenog crvenog karmina, zagasitih i zasićenih plavih i zelenih nijansi počela svoditi na simbolički crno-bijeli registar. Šiblovo slikarstvo raščlanjuje se pred nama uvijek na nekoliko nivoa, zavodljivo nam pružajući ogledalo, psihoemotivni refleks u kojem se trenutno i sami nalazimo: od zaigranog plesa, umjetnosti zavođenja ljubavnika (ars amatoria), podvojenosti naše anđeoske i đavolje prirode (Faust), preko motiva androgine prazne ljudske ljušture koja je lišena sadržaja, ili je pred emotivnom / egzistencijalnom boli postala blijedi otisak koji samo vegetira. Duško Šibl pripada onim umjetnicima koji senzibilno progovaraju o vrhuncima i padu jedne civilizacijske epohe, o krajnjim emotivnim kontrastima, o ljepoti i stravi, i po tomu dijeli jednak senzibilitet s umjetnicima antike, helenizma, europskog manirizma; mnogo dalje i kompleksnije od standardnog pozivanja na umjetničku duhovnu braću 20. stoljeća.

cording to the atmosphere emanated by the canvases, it is closer to the idea of the dance macabre, of our feverish struggle to stay on the surface of this world. The shift in the artist’s palette supports this since its dimmed crimson, fuscous and saturated blue and green tones begin reducing to a symbolic black and white register. Šibl’s painting can, from our point of view, always be divided into several levels, seductively offering us a mirror, a psycho-emotional reflex in which we find ourselves at the very moment. This can be a playful dance, the art of seduction (ars amatoria), the duality of our angelic and demonic nature (Faust) or the motif of an empty androgynous human shell devoid of any content, or something which, when faced with emotional/existential pain, became a faded impression in an ever vegetative state. Duško Šibl ranks among those artists who speak insightfully about the crest and demise of particular civilisational epochs, of extreme emotional contrasts, of their beauty and horror, and in this he shares the same insightfulness with artists from Antiquity, Hellenism and European Mannerism, something which is much deeper and more complex than the usual referencing of the 20th century artistic spiritual brethren.
