Boris Bućan created "The First Day After Mr. K’s Illness" using screen printing, a technique that allows for the layering of bold colors and patterns. Bućan emerged as an artist in 1970s Croatia, a period marked by the complexities of socialist rule, and a time of cultural and political negotiation. The print's vibrant, almost dizzying composition, might be a visual metaphor for navigating the post-illness state, where the familiar world appears slightly altered. The garden view – with its neatly arranged, stylized blades of grass, and the glimpse into an interior with a chair – suggests an attempt to capture a sense of order and recovery. The emotional impact comes from the tension between the rigidity of the patterns and the implied vulnerability of the unseen Mr. K. It's a reflection on health, recovery, and the subtle ways our perception shifts when our bodies and minds are healing.
