His work is not easily framed or placed in a drawer of unique discipline, medium, or technique, but encourages and allows shaping from form to action, from words to signs, from gesture to opinion. His approach to painting, poetry and photography comprehends the aspiration to evade definitiveness of an aesthetic act, believing that the gap between the form and the meaning provides an ample width for ethical resonance. Thoughtfully sharpened and self-reflective, occasionally ironic and parodiable, but not less agile and stimulating, the work of Vlado Martek represents a significant chapter in the continuity of the avant-garde enthusiasm and the fertile ramification of conceptual exclusiveness and self-sufficiency towards ludic and performative emanations.
