Agnes Von Uray’s works may be somewhat
lighter in tone, yet they possess an emotional
quality and sadness that draws the viewer into
the world of the subject. Von Uray is inspired
by renaissance frescoes and classical painting,
while her images are often derived from film
stills – a freeze frame in which the subject is
imbued with an intensity that transcends the
paint on the canvas.
Painter Luca Korodi creates mesmerizing
landscapes that transform typical urban scenes
in Budapest – and beyond – into mysterious
and dreamlike spaces. The Danube River and
its bridges are a recurring and powerful theme
in her most recent paintings.
On the photographic end of the scale – albeit
with the perspective of a painter – Károly
‘Minyó’ Szert explores everyday subjects
through vintage, and his own photographs,
which he then reinterprets through the use
of free-hand processing techniques. Smaller
versions of his large-scale works are also
available in thematically arranged box sets.
In the spirit of fun and creativity, Szert’s
art openings often include an element of
performance in which an old bicycle and light
projections play a key role.
