Eduard Zentšik, 1975 | Surrealist painter

Eduard Zentšik is a contemporary Estonian genre-busting artist.

In his creative work, he has managed to unite localness with globality, to shatter one’s hope for the result awaited from the artist, to put up a serious façade with ease whilst playing an ironical game with unknown rules and to deceive the spectator in such a way that nobody has noted that.

It is only at first perusal that his self-positioning as "Unknown Artist Zentšik" is an offer for the spectator to believe into the primacy of the art object over the art source.

Renoir / Emily Dickinson | It will be Summer / Sarà estate

It will be Summer -eventually.

Ladies -with parasols -

Sauntering Gentlemen -with Canes

As ‘twere a bright Boquet -

Tho drifted deep, in Parian -

The Village lies - today -
