Abel Brcic completes beauty of
the scenery with cheerfulness. With his measure
of painter’s skill and stylization he gives
a special charm to the ancient views of Dalmatian
cities of Korcula and Dubrovnik and also to the
picturesque structures near the sea. By “cheerful
geometry” of the displaced angles Brcic causes
great mirth of the level surfaces composing the
volumes on the clean surfaces by the clear silhouettes
and constructing the each scene by the clear lines.
The rules of consistent, linear rhythm don’t
relate to the architecture only, but also to the
plants, mounds, sky and sea. Every part of the picture
is painted by an identical matter intensified by
dynamic values of colors. The details on the picture
and the whole impression of it represent the picture
of the South ( experience and memory ) where the
light and colors play the main roles. Brcic takes
possession of the charming views and congruently
to them he creates the unique structures such as
round crowns of the trees, trapezoidal roofs, sterns…They
all follow the way from real to imaginary.
Actually, Brcic’s pictures rely on reality
but the emphasizes and moving away from classical
perspectives with relativity of plans give a new
dimension to something that is already known, almost
fabulous, because, by Brcic’s pictures we
enter the space of wonder of arrested time in the
moments of beauty brilliance through the lines of
magnetic force of colors. The congested structures,
the trees in brightness of the blue sea and sky
are the echo of life.
Every picture is a break in pulsing of dithyramb.
It is a frame for the plays of figures that surpasses
the facades of the stony buildings in its meaning
and becomes the sign of duration as well as the
cypresses in its verticality.
In another way Brcic shows the great familiarity
with the landscape of the South by illusion of painter’s
unpretentiousness. The interpretation of the given
motives goes from the simple ones to the compound
compositions with expressive and fragile forms with
lots of fragments and details. They can be seen
in precise geometrical forms and figures. Strictness
doesn't’t break painting vitality, but it
becomes the measure of order in the scenes of painting
imagination. Relatively the firm co-ordinate system
of organization brings Brcic’s pictures closer
to ornamental and balanced works. The sea becomes
a field with the clear blue separations of the deeps.
And the silhouettes of defined limits in its motions
catch hold of the whole picture. In his reduction
until a single sign Brcic produces the similar charge
by the flare concentrated in applicable palette.
Colors without any dark tones, colors to which the
light is symbolically given. Brcic insists on pleasantness
in a beautifully view through an open window or
in a still life. In the pictures of lyrical tones,
by a special painter’s weaving, dynamic and
harmonious interfering of forms where in different
variations on the same theme, the trace of poetics
is always maintained as in the painter’s dialogue
with the structures as in the touch of the seaside,
plants and sky.
With subtlety of experience and performance ( and
no doubt with a skilful hand ) Brcic transmits roughness
into pleasantness recognized in the delicate lines.
Abel Brcic enriches Croatian contemporary landscape
(in the widest sense of that idea) by the works
of plastic art in its humor, looking for and succeeding
in connecting what is monumental and what is common
in architecture, synthesizing a representative look
of a church tower and a simple magnificence of the
traditional Dalmatian houses. With an immediate
expression of joy in creation and with his abilities
and love he makes equal the presented motives and
an idea of beauty. (text : Stanko Spoljaric)

Abel Brcic u ljepotu
prizora upisuje vedrinu. Svojom mjerom slikarske preobrazbe
vedutama starih dalmatinskih gradova Korcule, Dubrovnika
i pitorsknim zdanjima u blizini mora daje poseban
sarm, kako stupnjem koloristicke otvorenosti tako
i provedenom stilizacijom. 'Veselom geometrijom' pomaknutih
kuteva Brcic razigrava plohe skladajuci volumene cistim
povrsinama citke silhute, gradeci svaku scenu jasnim
rasterom crtovlja. Pravila dosljednog linearnog ritma
ne vrijede samo za arhitekturu vec i za raslinje,
brdasce, trag neba i mora. Svaki segment na slici
zahvacen je identicnom stvarnoscu intenziviranom dinamicnim
vrijednostima boje.
Detalji i ukupnost dojma podrzavaju sliku o jugu (dozivljaja
i sijecanja) koje su dominante svjetlo i boja. Brcic
je posvojio drage prizore, prepoznajuci u njima blijesak
kromatskih raspona, sukladno kojima oblikovanost gradivih
jedinki, poput krusne kropnje stabla, trapezne forme
krova, prove camca, prati put od realnog ka izmastanom.
Razumljivo Brciceva uprizorenja imaju potku stvarnog,
no akcenti, rakursi, odmak od klasicnih perspektiva
s relativiziranjem planova, daju znanom novu dimenziju.
Gotovo bajkovitosti, jer Brcicevom slikom usli smo
u prostore zacudnosti. Zaustavljenog vremena u tenucima
blistanja ljepote kroz silnice boje. U kojem zbijena
zdanja, drvece u sjaju plavetnila mora i neba jeka
su zivota. Svaka slika je zastanak u pulsiranju ditiramskog.
Ambijentalno je okvir za igru oblika koji nadilaze
doslovnost fasade kamenih zdanja u svom znacenju,
vec oznaka su trajanja, isto kao cempresi u svom vertikalitetu.
Drugim rijecima Brcic je prividno slikarskom nepretencioznopcu
izrazio duboko razumijevanje krajolika juga. Interpretacija
odabranih motiva krece se od jednostavnijeih do slozenijeih
kompozicija, s izrazenom lomnoscu forme, s mnostvom
fragmenata dovedenih do sitnih partikula, vidljivih
i u preciznim geometrijskim likovima, i oblicima manje
egzaktnosti obrisa. Strogost nije narusila slikarski
vitalitet, vec je postala mjera reda u scenama sadrzajne
i likovne mastovitosti. Relativno cvrsti kordinatni
sistem organizacije priblizio je Brciceva djela ornamentalnom,uravnotezenoj
preglednosti, koje su sastavnice plohe boje. Njima
i more postaje polje, s jasnim razdjelnicama dubine
plavog. A sjene definiranih granica zahvacaju u svom
kretanju svu predmetnost slike. Brcic i u reduciranosti
do znaka ostvaruje slican naboj opredmecenim svijetom, koncentriranom u primjerenoj paleti. Boje bez muklijih
tonova, boji kojoj je svijetlo i simbolicna datost.
U isijecku lijepote koji moze biti i mrtva priroda,
pogled iz interijera kroz prozor, Brcic inzistira
na ugodjajnosti. U djelima lirske konotacije svojevrsnim
slikarskim tkanjima, dinamicnom i skladnom prepletu
oblika gdje u varijacijama na temu treptaj poetskog
je uvijek sacuvan kao u dijalogu umjetnika s predlopkom,
tako i dodirom tla (obale) i mora, drveca i neba.
Brcic suptilnoscu dozivljaja i izvedbe (s neporecivom
vjestinom ruke) i oporost prenosi do lakoce, neslucene
u tanahtnosti linija. U svakom slucaju Abel Brcic
je obogatio suvremeni hrvatski pejzazizam (u svoj
sirini tog pojma) redovima likovne 'humornosti' tezeci
i uspjevajuci povezati u arhitekturi spomenicko i
pucko, sintetizirajuci reprezentativni izgled crkvenog
tornja i jednostavnu velicajnost 'zaboravljene' kucice.
Neposrednoscu iskaza u radosti stvaranja talentom
i ljubavlju odabrane motive izjednacio je sa samim
pojmom lijepote.
