The thesis entitled Abjective Body in My Paintings is an exploration of a specific group of human body in relation to the perception of the visual field.
In the theoretical part, I firstly try to analyze the key terms that are an expression of the concept of abstractness in painting. I endorse these with philosophical views and with examples of a certain period of painting. In the first chapter I introduce the concept of body (and) abjective, where I try through various interpretations, highlight their basic properties. Then I divide bodies into the outer and inner parts, where I deal with the relationship between the body and the spirit and the dualism between subject and object. Since the body is the central factor in performative art, I also deal with body art and its representatives. Throughout the chapters, I always focus on the idea that the notion of the abjective body is always included and I try to think on the basis of theoretical facts about my principles of creation.
In the practical part, I present a series of paintings and drawings of abjective bodies in the visual space. In pictures, I show the process of creativity, which led me through various thoughts into »final« painting poetry.
