Art Parade Of All Kinds

It's time to get back to posting art and today I'd like to show you various art pieces, from paintings to sculptures and not only. This was a mixed art exhibition, which is not exactly rare, but not so common either. Most of the times these exhibitions are thematic, or are the product of an artistic workshop held annually countrywide or from a private collection, in which case you mostly see paintings.

I like these exhibitions more and this is why I like to mix art in my posts if possible. Seeing only paintings from one author is good, but can seem monotone for some.

Csilla Kákonyi - My Grandfather's Garden

Let's start with this oil painting, which must have meant a lot to the artist. She's not the first, not the last either, who's painting her ancestor's garden or house. So many are painting, drawing their parent's, grandparent's house or garden. There comes a time when these places are only memories as their physical version is not anymore. Even though I don't know the artist or her family, looking at the painting, takes me back to distant past, to my childhood at my grandparents.

I love how the light is coming from one side and creates a lighter stripe on the left side.

Csilla Kákonyi - Motherhood

I think this is pretty explicit, even without a title. You can see the radiant face of the mother, while holding her baby in her arms and looking at them.

A glimpse into what you're going to see next. This gallery has two exhibition rooms on the ground floor and several small ones on the first floor, which is the mansard basically and mostly is hosting photography exhibitions, due to lack of space.

Ádám Baróthi - Szent György (Saint George)

This was a really lovely piece, but I was struggling to find an angle, where reflections were less visible. I've never seen anything like this to be honest, but I love it. I love how the colors and the texture of the paper shows under the pastel chalk. Saint George is a prominent figure of the catholic religion and not only and as you can see, the artist has chosen to feature him on his horse, while going to a battle.

Ilona Sajgó - Meeting

Having a good visual memory can help you a lot and I am always smiling when I recognize an artwork that I've seen before and this is one of them. I had the pleasure to see Ilona Sajgó's solo exhibition not long ago and this piece was on the wall. The thing I loved the most about the works Ilona Sajgó exhibited was the color combination. I'm not sure if these were her favorite colors (also orange with gray), but I think they match perfectly.

I must admit, her work had a huge influence on me and am glad to have the photos as these are going to help me once I start my own textile art journey.

Zoltán Szőcs - The Seer

This piece, although I admit it's a nice one from artistic point of view, it's not my favorite.

I know there are cultures especially South Asian cultures, where their mythology has people with several heads and faces, and that's normal for them, but it's a bit confusing for me.

This head had four faces (I hope I'm not wrong) and although it's interesting, it makes me a bit uncomfortable, so let's move on.

Ádám Balogh - Grain Harvester

I love this one for the simplicity of it. The clear lines, the shiny surface and it shows perfectly that the title says.

Ilona Sajgó - Forest Fairy

Honestly, I fail to see the forest fairy in the artwork and this makes me wonder what was born first, the artwork and then the title? Or the artist had the concept and the title in his mind and the got to the execution?

Mária Hunyadi - Seal of King Matthias

Being about a real King, I bet this seal is authentic, or should I say identical to the original, as identical as such a textile art could be. I love how the artist created the most important piece of the King's power. The seal was the most guarded possession of any ruler as once lost, anyone could use it to their advantage, or abuse it, maybe this is a better word. Back in those days there were also fraudsters, falsifying seals, stamps, documents and so on.

I love the relief interpretation of the seal with the king's initials. The feathers represent the pen as back in those days they used feathers to write and ink.

Kati Bandi - Fellow Villagers (left)
Kati Bandi - After Church Service (right)

This was another piece (two pieces in fact) that I loved the most. First because of the unusual size of the canvas and for the colorful paint. Both are depicting moments of village life.

Here's a cropped piece for you to be able to see the details better. For some people these scenes tend to be too crowded, but not for me. I think is brilliant. On the left, village life is a bit modern as you see motorbike and a car too, but it's still village life. Another detail I need to mention is the "rough" execution, which is a plus in this case, I like it a lot. if you look at it, faces don't have expression, some of them don't even have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, which is not a problem. This is art, it's up to the artist to decide what they want to paint or draw, there are no rules.

This is it for today. I hope I was able to show you a nice variety of art.
