Throughout history, the industrial revolutions have had a double impact on the relationship between man and nature: while technological progress has alienated man from nature, it has also brought with it a kind of bioromanticism.

This idea emerged in the second half of the 19th century in the wake of Romanticism, emphasizing a deep emotional attachment to the living world, a rediscovery of the relationship between man and nature and a desire to live in harmony with nature, which was eclipsed by the effects of modernization and the industrial revolution.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a similar bioromantic wave has been revived, turning our gaze once again towards the mystery of nature, human sensitivity and the desire for ecological balance.

The focus of the exhibition is on the mysterious, mysterious characteristics of nature, which deepens the longing to know and connect. András Ernszt’s paintings and Sándor Körei’s glass sculptures are meditative contemplations of nature, in which both the artists themselves and the viewer try to decipher and understand the abstract experience of being immersed in nature.
