The exhibition features a selection from 30 years of creative work. On display will be paintings, digital prints, flat films, graphics, and an artist’s book. It is multifaceted, personal, and highlights the most interesting works of the recent past.
The images do not depict specific objects, but rather convey feelings, energies, and movement.
The paintings represent a transition between abstract expressionism and geometric abstraction. In my work, I repeatedly explore the different layers of abstraction, spatial solutions, textures, and the emotional and conceptual effects of colors. My mentor was Dóra Maurer, whom I love very much. Among foreign artists, Arnulf Rainer, Cy Twombly, and Franz Kline have had a significant influence on me.
My graphics seek to evoke forgotten inner images and examine the internal conflict that exists between unconscious desires and the outside world. Each work tells its own story, but together they depict complex internal relationships.
I scratched and scraped the exhibited graphics not onto metal plates, but onto layers of paint applied to Plexiglas sheets. Unlike paper and canvas, Plexiglas is a transparent medium, a kind of intermediate material. Scratching means damaging the smooth surface, in which creation and destruction are simultaneously present. It is a slow, repetitive, meditative, and planned process, not a one-time gesture. The works are unique, not multiplied, and cannot be reproduced.
I remove something from the black-painted Plexiglas sheet, damaging the surface and creating a gap that becomes transparent, “invisible,” and only visible when exposed to light. Due to the transparency of the material, the scratches are only visible from certain angles, so the works are “activated” by the movement of the viewer.
The enjoyment, love, freedom, experimentation, and desire to play brought these “graphics” to life.
I strive to show the constant interactions between human emotions and our environment. The works stem from personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings, the results of an internal, intuitive process. It is a kind of self-reflection, revealing my own emotional and intellectual world and sharing it clearly and honestly with others.
My goal is for visitors to perceive their environment more consciously and to be empathetic. Try to experience the feelings, energies, moods, and joys inherent in the creative process. Step out of your daily routine and freely surrender yourself to the works.
Be an observer, a participant, and an interpreter all at once.
