Art is never made in a closed space. Although in the sterile neutrality of the white cube exhibition spaces, the works are mostly seen in a closed, clean environment, they are actually born in the artist’s world, from a cacophony of impressions, feelings and thoughts.
Environmental influences, the noise of everyday life, spontaneous moments all influence the birth of the work, so the exhibited works bear this living imprint. Some of these influences are known and often taken into account in understanding the work. Most of the time we are aware of the historical and social context, but we rarely know and take into account the artist’s everyday life, even though most of the influences come from the innermost circles of all of us. The artwork is a metamorphosis of the artist’s thoughts, her influences, her environment, the impulses that affect her.
Judit Horváth Lóczi’s Family Business exhibition goes against this tradition and gives an insight into the life of a family and the processes of joint creation. The exhibition is a representation of an intimate, internal process in which the artist and her children react to each other and we can peer into this internal relationship and how their image of each other is transformed into artworks.
