Laco Teren

Laco Teren

Born June 11 1960, Bratislava
Lived in Bratislava

A representative of the generation of Slovak artists who entered the scene with an avant-garde programme of "New Painting" in the second half of the 1980's (Daniel Brunovský, Stano Bubán, Simona Bubánová-Tauchmannová, Ivan Csudai, Svetozár Ilavský, Dan Jurkovič, Jozef Šramka). He was one of the few to address the cultural and social situation of the country at that time through his humorous and aggressive paintings. His attempt to escape grey reality resulted in a spontaneous artistic expression in the spirit of postmodernism and neo-expressionism.
