Karolac is the youngest artist in Salon’s Inventory. His style of drawing to the average punter must appear somewhat haphazard. This however, belies his consummate skill in the rendering space from the 2-Dimentional in the process of creating something akin to a painted sculptural form emanating from the canvas or paper. Karolac is able to construct forms that are at once fluid, yet structured, flat, however, vibrant with life.  Many of his ink drawings, like the one offered here, are preliminary sketches for to be transformed into paintings, where Karolac brings his prototypes to life with a myriad of florescent colours that arc and wind in bends and curves. Some of Karolac’s paintings are like giant fluorescent spiders whose webs glow against a dark backdrop, while others are like tribal song lines; all are fascinating.
