Logoman is a characteristic form, a sign, a kind of essence that has resulted from my many-year experience as a painter. In a way it became a keystone where my interest in the human figure met with my inculcated need for the geometrical order.
I gradually transformed it into a system that relied on deliberate search for different relationships of this form with identical forms. The particular signs, joining in combinations or chains of dependence create new messages. I set them in a kind of behavioural code.
Logoman does not usually stand alone. It is a part of life, it meets the others. It is dynamic or it is only an extra, yet it is always in some kind of relation "towards”.
