In her latest series, Kamilla Szíj follows the path of the Sun, aiming to capture the presence of sunlight by recording the forms it creates on paper. These drawings, created between April and October of 2024, are on display in the current exhibition.
Szíj has transformed a phenomenon observed in her own home—the early morning light patches that appear during the sunny months—into the subject of her art. The light, filtered through her blinds, paints her room, which serves as both her living space and studio, with oval shapes.
Szíj’s drawings are always realized according to a preconceived structure. This process requires intense concentration and involves constructing an artwork from repeated shapes that form a complete composition on paper. Following previous series utilizing motifs of rice grains and tin cans, her latest series centers around an oval line that serves as the base unit of each drawing.
