Legat's paintings are political, yet not reactions to the politics of the day; they are theoretically grounded, yet not illustrations of zeitgeist flagship theorists; they are personal, yet not an expression of individual mythologies. Legat draws and paints parables about the state of the world, entangles the viewer in a dense web of problems and evokes the question of one's own involvement. Roman Grabner
