Poster Painting
Luft-Pavlata recounted that during his basic education, in boxes containing very fine sand, he performed calligraphic exercises over and over again. Later in life, these memories inspired his more abstract paintings with green background, some with phrases in Gothic German. They became Poster Painting.
Sometimes the phrases were directly related to what is represented, while in others they had no direct correspondence. Luft-Pavlata gave personality to these nails and wires, anthropomorphizing or zoomorphizing them, not figuratively, but conceptually.
He also painted objects he found during his daily strolls to the town, placing them in diverse contexts, often on a green background,—characteristic of his last stage of production.
Some titles of his works are mysterious, with no apparent relationship with the representation; however, such titles give us clues, inviting us to enter the world that he recreated in his work.
