CORNELIS LA MAIR

Born in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 1944, fine arts painter Cornelis le Mair can rightfully be called a natural talent. At barely five years old, he had to show his drawings to all of the other Kindergarten classes. After finishing High School, he started his art studies at the Kunstacademie in Den Bosch.

For the talented Le Mair however, this art education is limited to teaching “free expression” and a talent for drawing is considered an obstacle on the way to finding “true art”. The teachers there are not able to instruct him in the things he finds interesting. He heeds the advise of a helpful teacher and switches over to the Koninklijke Kunstacademie in Antwerp in 1965, where the old painting techniques are still being taught. Fortunately his teacher, professor Victor Dolphijn, takes these traditional painting techniques seriously. In 1968, le Mair graduates “cum laude” in portrait and figure painting and, guided by Dolphijn, starts painting still lifes, a subject he has continually learned to master. In 1973, Le Mair moves to a farm in the countryside in the vicinity of the city where he was born, and starts his career as a fine arts painter.

The paintings of Le Mair can justifiably be compared to those of the Old Masters, sometimes exposing him to criticism by the more modern leaning art reviewers. But for the viewer who pays attention, le Mair’s paintings show a very unique identity.

Cornelis le Mair is a multi-talented man. Besides being a painter of portraits, figures, still lifes and landscapes, his interests span a wide spectrum: Architecture, Sculpture, Music and Interior Design among them. Occasionally he exchanges his painting brush for a writing pen and in 2002 he finished his novel “Vanitas”. Publisher In De Knipscheer will also introduce a new book of essays: “Het Edele Ambacht” (The Noble Trade), that will address different aspects of traditional fine art painting.

Le Mair’s farmhouse, decorated and furnished to his own vision, has been filmed, photographed and written about on many occasions. Multiple articles in magazines and many a television program have been devoted to this eclectic and unique domicile. Exhibitions of his works received major media attention and drew great crowds, especially the Retrospective Exhibit in Museum Kempenland in 1994, the one-man Exhibit in the Castle of Zeist in 1998, and the Retrospective Exhibit in the Westfries Museum in 1999.

In addition, Museum Kempenland organized a special exhibit in 2004 showcasing a scale model of le Mair’s fantasy building complex, “Vanitas Palace”.

Paul H Davis

About the Artist

Paul Davis draws in the Florentine tradition of structural draughts which is a tradition is founded on the close study of the human figure. on a simple and precise projection of information onto a two dimensional surface. Davis conveys his elegant and intelligent compositions with a hand that is both steady and graceful. Draftsmen of Davis' quality are extremely rare and are fewer and fewer in numbers.

His paintings are beautifully observed and assembled with a touch that is somehow both expansive and finite, each stroke exhibiting understanding of light conditions and a brilliant control of tonal values. This comprehension and recreation of light is the painter's supreme gift. It is not a skill that one attributes to a draftsman, which tend to lead in other directions.

In his studio pieces, the draftsman and the painter are in harmony. These are uncommon, perplexing pictures, not easily classified. They reflect an interest in photography and a considerable knowledge of pictorial construction. They have a powerful feeling for architectural spaces and the movement of the figures within them, and a mysterious and memorable atmosphere.

Paul Davis is a remarkably unique painter. He is a highly dedicated artist with keen eye and a deep critical understanding. His work is sophisticated, educated and singularly his.

Statement
I have always been a figure painter. Many of my figures are painted directly from life; and I work with models that have a gift for movement. I am fascinated by the contrast of flesh against drapery revealed by light. In the early 1990’s I decided I would work exclusively from my imagination - no models, no photos. I am interested in fable, characters, the past, and a kind of complex play. These paintings are improvisations. It is always a pleasure to watch these characters emerge from nothing but the suggestion of a few marks on the canvas. They have their own personalities, stories and even interact with each other. They take over the drift of the paintings much as characters in a novel do. I often feel as if I’m just watching it all happen. I continue to pursue both kinds of painting. When I have had enough of one I return to the other refreshed and with renewed enthusiasm. Paul Davis

Lynn Sanguedolce



Lynn was recently honored by being selected, for the second consecutive year, as a Finalist in the Portrait Society of America’s International Portrait Competition.  She is also serves on the Faculty of the Portrait Society of America Conference held in Atlanta this year.  In 2012, her painting “Tom Poynor in the Studio” received one of the very top awards - First Honor. Lynn was also selected as a Finalist in the ARC International Salon 2012 for her portrait “Tom Poynor”, which is a head-study of the same subject. This painting was awarded with an “Award of Excellence” at the Salon International 2012 as well.

Lynn’s educational background began as a child as she born into a family of artists.  Her father was a professional Fine Artist, an art teacher and a member of the United Scenic Artist Union and her mother graduated from the Cooper Union School in New York City. Lynn’s own formal art education began when she was invited as an entry-level student, but by special permission, was accelerated to study with 4th year students, at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.  Following that Lynn studied at the Ridgewood Art Institute, N.J., The Art League of Alexandria, VA, and the California Art Institute in Westlake Village, CA, where she later became an instructor.  She furthered her development alongside many contemporary artists through workshops, classes and private study.

Lynn's professional career began in the 1980’s, painting watercolor illustrations for Reader’s Digest magazine.  As the world of editorial illustration began to undergo changes, she segued into fine art, selling her work through galleries around the country. The inspiration for Lynn’s work stems from her appreciation of the beauty of nature, love of art history and passion for painting. She enjoys depicting a broad range of subject matter, from landscapes to figures, but currently finds painting people both the most challenging and rewarding to her as an artist.  It has been through over 30 years of observing nature, studying and practicing drawing and painting, that she has found her voice.  A professional artist for over thirty years, Lynn’s work may be found in collections throughout the United States and abroad.


Lynn has been represented by prestigious galleries across the country.  A professional artist for over thirty years, her work may be found in collections throughout the United States and abroad.  Lynn currently resides in the San Francisco East Bay area.

Ray Hare



Realism takes on new dimension through the eyes of artist Ray Hare. Rays paintings are photo realism but his art goes beyond realistic likeness. In his work the larger than life close-ups are depicted with all their infinite color and details. It is as if he held a magnifying glass up to his subject and painted what he saw. What Hare captures as a result is a new reality. His unique vision through enlarged images and illusions is shared through paintings that grasp the essence of his subjects. The emotional impact of each painting confronts and challenges us to view reality with renewed emotion. He incorporates conceptual studies with practical mastery of fine art,testing each image and medium to its limit. The subjects seem so real we believe we can reach out and touch them.

Native Californian Ray Hare has expressed himself through art at an early age. In high school he won numerous state and national competitions. He received a full scholarship to California College of Arts and Crafts where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with High Distinction. Ray then went to San Francisco State University to receive his Masters of Fine Art.

Ray Hare is based in Orange County, California where he and his wife Susan raised their three children. His art has been shown in numerous museums including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, DeYoung Museum, Oakland Museum, Crocker Kingsley Art Museum and the Los Angeles Art Institute. Many prominent corporations and institutions have added his work to their collections. He was commissioned by ABC to paint a portrait of Oprah Winfrey for her private collection. Commissioned by NBC to paint a portrait of Elizabeth Taylor for her private collection and by Fox Network to paint a portrait of Ray Charles for he and his son Ray Charles Jr's private
collection. Ray is in numerous private collections through out the United States and Europe.

As portas que Abril Abriu

Era uma vez um país
onde entre o mar e a guerra
vivia o mais feliz
dos povos à beira-terra

Onde entre vinhas sobredos
vales socalcos searas
serras atalhos veredas
lezírias e praias claras
um povo se debruçava
como um vime de tristeza
sobre um rio onde mirava
a sua própria pobreza

Era uma vez um país
onde o pão era contado
onde quem tinha a raíz
tinha o fruto arrecadado
onde quem tinha o dinheiro
tinha o operário algemado
onde suava o ceifeiro
que dormia com o gado
onde tossia o mineiro
em Aljustrel ajustado
onde morria primeiro
quem nascia desgraçado

Era uma vez um país
de tal maneira explorado
pelos consórcios fabris
pelo mando acumulado
pelas ideias nazis
pelo dinhiero estragado
pelo dobrar da cerviz
pelo trabalho amarrado
que até hoje já se diz
que nos tempos dos passado
se chamava esse país
Portugal suicidado

Ali nas vinhas sobredos
vales socalcos searas
serras atalhos veredas
lezírias e praias claras
vivia um povo tão pobre
que partia para a guerra
para encher quem estava podre
de comer a sua terra

Um povo que era levado
para Angola nos porões
um povo que era tratado
como a arma dos patrões
um povo que era obrigado
a matar por suas mãos
sem saber que um bom soldado
nunca fere os seus irmãos

Ora passou-se porém
que dentro de um povo escravo
alguém que lhe queria bem
um dia plantou um cravo

Era a semente da esperança
feita de força e vontade
era ainda uma criança
mas já era a liberdade

Era já uma promessa
era a força da razão
do coração à cabeça
da cabeça ao coração
Quem o fez era soldado
homem novo capitão
mas tabém tinha a seu lado
muitos homens na prisão

Esses que tinham lutado
a defender um irmão
esses que tinham passado
o horror da solidão
esses que tinham jurado
sobre uma côdea de pão
ver o povo libertado
do terror da opressão

Não tinham armas é certo
mas tinham toda a razão
quando um homem morre perto
tem de haver distanciação

uma pistola guardada
nas dobras da sua opção
uma bala disparada
contra a sua própria mão
e uma força perseguida
que na escolha do mais forte
faz com a que a força da vida
seja maior do que a morte

Quem o fez era soldado
homem novo capitão
mas também tinha a seu lado
muitos homens na prisão

Posta a semente do cravo
começou a floração
do capitão ao soldado
do soldado ao capitão

Foi então que o povo armado
percebeu qual a razão
porque o povo despojado
lhe punha as armas na mão

Pois também ele humilhado
em sua própria grandeza
era soldado forçado
contra a pátria portuguesa

Era preso e exilado
e no seu próprio país
muitas vezes estrangulado
pelos generais senis

Capitão que não comanda
não pode ficar calado
é o povo que lhe manda
ser capitão revoltado
é o povo que lhe diz
que não ceda e não hesite
- pode nascer um país
do ventre duma chaimite

Porque a força bem empregue
contra a posição contrária
nunca oprime nem persegue
- é a força revolucionária!

Foi então que Abril abriu
as portas da claridade
e a nossa gente invadiu
a sua própria cidade

Disse a primeira palavra
na madrugada serena
um poeta que cantava
o povo é quem mais ordena

E então por vinhas sobredos
vales socalcos searas
serras atalhos veredas
lezírias e praias claras
desceram homens sem medo
marujos soldados "páras"
que não queriam o degredo
de um povo que se separa.
E chegaram à cidade
onde os monstros se acoitavam
era a hora da verdade
para as hienas que mandavam
a hora da claridade
para os sóis que despontavam
e a hora da vontade
para os homens que lutavam

Em idas vindas esperas
encontros esquinas e praças
não se pouparam as feras
arrancaram-se as mordaças
e o povo saiu à rua
com sete pedras na mão
e uma pedra de lua
no lugar do coração

Dizia soldado amigo
meu camarada e irmão
este povo está contigo
nascemos do mesmo chão
trazemos a mesma chama
temos a mesma razão
dormimos na mesma cama
comendo do mesmo pão
Camarada e meu amigo
soldadinho ou capitão
este povo está contigo
a malta dá-te razão

Foi esta força sem tiros
de antes quebrar que torcer
esta ausência de suspiros
esta fúria de viver
este mar de vozes livres
sempre a crescer a crescer
que das espingardas fez livros
para aprendermos a ler
que dos canhões fez enxadas
para lavrarmos a terra
e das balas disparadas
apenas o fim da guerra

Foi esta força viril
de antes quebrar que torcer
que em vinte e cinco de Abril
fez Portugal renascer

E em Lisboa capital
dos nosvos mestres de Aviz
o povo de Portugal
deu o poder a quem quis

Mesmo que tenha passado
às vezes por mãos estranhas
o poder que ali foi dado
saiu das nossas entranhas.
Saiu das vinhas sobredos
vales socalcos searas
serras atalhos veredas
lezírias e praias claras
onde um povo se curvava
como um vime de tristeza
sobre um rio onde mirava
a sua prórpia pobreza

E se esse poder um dia
o quiser roubar alguém
não fica na burguesia
volta à barriga da mãe.
Volta à barriga da terra
que em boa hora o pariu
agora ninguém mais cerra
as portas que Abril abriu.

Essas portas que em Caxias
se escancararam de vez
essas janelas vazias
que se encheram outra vez
e essas celas tão frias
tão cheias de sordidez
que espreitavam como espias
todo o povo português.

Agora que já floriu
a esperança na nossa terra
as portas que Abril abriu
nunca mais ninguém as cerra.

Contra tudo o que era velho
levantado como um punho
em Maio surgiu vermelho
o cravo de mês de Junho.

Quando o povo desfilou
nas ruas em procissão
de novo se processou
a própria revolução.

Mas era olhos as balas
abraços punhais e lanças
enamoradas as alas
dos soldados e crianças.

E o grito que foi ouvido
tantas vezes repetido
dizia que o povo unido
jamais seria vencido.

Contra tudo o que era velho
levantado como um punho
em Maio surgiu vermelho
o cravo do mês de Junho.

E então operários mineiros
pescadores e ganhões
marçanos e carpinteiros
empregados dos balcões
mulheres a dias pedreiros
reformados sem pensões
dactilógrafos carteiros
e outras muitas profissões
souberam que o seu dinheiro
era presa dos patrões.

A seu lado também estavam
jornalistas que escreviam
actores que desbobravam
cientistas que aprendiam
poetas que estrebuchavam
cantores que não se vendiam
mas enquanto estes lutavam
é certo que não sentiam
a fome com que apertavam
os cintos dos que os ouviam.

Porém cantar é ternura
escrever constrói liberdade
e não há coisa mais pura
do que dizer a verdade.

E uns e outros irmanados
na mesma luta de ideias
ambos sectores explorados
ficaram partes iguais.

Entanto não descansavam
entre pragas e perjúrios
agulhas que se espetavam
silêncios boatos murmúrios
risinhos que se calavam
palácios contra tugúrios
fortunas que levantavam
promessas de maus augúrios
os que em vida se enterravam
por serem falsos e espúrios
maiorais da minoria
que diziam silenciosa
e que em silêncio faziam
a coisa mais horrorosa:
minar como um sinapismo
e com ordenados régios
o alvor do socialismo
e o fim dos privilégios.

Foi então se bem vos lembro
que sucedeu a vindima
quando pisámos Setembro
a verdade veio acima.

E foi um mosto tão forte
que sabia tanto a Abril
que nem o medo da morte
nos fez voltar ao redil.

Ali ficámos de pé
juntos soldados e povo
para mostrarmos como é
que se faz um país novo.

Ali dissemos não passa!
E a reacção não passou.
Quem já viveu a desgraça
odeia a quem desgraçou.

Foi a força do Outono
mais forte que a Primavera
que trouxe os homens sem dono
de que o povo estava à espera.

Foi a força dos mineiros
pescadores e ganhões
operários e carpinteiros
empregados dos balcões
mulheres a dias pedreiros
reformados sem pensões
dactilógrafos carteiros
e outras muitas profissões
que deu o poder cimeiro
a quem não queria patrões.

Desde esse dia em que todos
nós repartimos o pão
é que acabaram os bodos
- cumpriu-se a revolução.

Porém em quintas vivendas
palácios e palacetes
os generais com prebendas
caciques e cacetetes
os que montavam cavalos
para caçarem veados
os que davam dois estalos
na cara dos empregados
os que tinham bons amigos
no consórcio dos sabrões
e coçavam os umbigos
como quem coça os galões
os generais subalternos
que aceitavam os patrões
os generais inimigos
os genarais garanhões
teciam teias de aranha
e eram mais camaleões
que a lombriga que se amanha
com os próprios cagalhões.
Com generais desta apanha
já não há revoluções.

Por isso o onze de Março
foi um baile de Tartufos
uma alternância de terços
entre ricaços e bufos.

E tivemos de pagar
com o sangue de um soldado
o preço de já não estar
Portugal suicidado.

Fugiram como cobardes
e para terras de Espanha
os que faziam alardes
dos combates em campanha.

E aqui ficaram de pé
capitães de pedra e cal
os homens que na Guiné
apenderam Portugal.

Os tais homens que sentiram
que um animal racional
opões àqueles que o firam
consciência nacional.

Os tais homens que souberam
fazer a revolução
porque na guerra entenderam
o que era a libertação.

Os que viram claramente
e com os cinco sentidos
morrer tanta tanta gente
que todos ficaram vivos.

Os tais homens feitos de aço
temperado com a tristeza
que envolveram num abraço
toda a história portuguesa.

Essa história tão bonita
e depois tão maltratada
por quem herdou a desdita
da história colonizada.

Dai ao povo o que é do povo
pois o mar não tem patrões.
- Não havia estado novo
nos poemas de Camões!

Havia sim a lonjura
e uma vela desfraldada
para levar a ternura
à distância imaginada.

Foi este lado da história
que os capitães descobriram
que ficará na memória
das naus que de Abril partiram
das naves que transportaram
o nosso abraço profundo
aos povos que agora deram
novos países ao mundo.

Por saberem como é
ficaram de pedra e cal
capitães que na Guiné
descobriram Portugal.

Em em sua pátria fizeram
o que deviam fazer:
ao seu povo devolveram
o que o povo tinha a haver:
Bancos seguros petróleos
que ficarão a render
ao invés dos monopólios
para o trabalhos crescer.
Guindastes portos navios
e outras coisas para erguer
antenas centrais e fios
de um país que vai nascer.

Mesmo que seja com frio
é preciso é aquecer
pensar que somos um rio
que vai dar onde quiser

pensar que somos um mar
que nunca mais tem fronteiras
e havemos de navegar
de muitíssimas maneiras.

No Minho com pés de linho
no Alentejo com pão
no Ribatejo com vinho
na Beira com requeijão
e trocando agora as voltas
ao vira da produção
no Alentejo bolotas
no Algarve maçapão
vindimas no Alto Douro
tomates em Azeitão
azeite da cor do ouro
que é verde ao pédo Fundão
e fica amarelo puro
nos campos do Baleizão.
Quando a terra for do povo
o povo deita-lhe a mão!

É isto a reforma agrária
em sua própria expressão:
a maneira mais primária
de que nós temos um quinhão
da semente proletária
da nossa revolução.

Quem a fez era soldado
homem novo capitão
mas também tinha a seu lado
muitos homens na prisão.

De tudo o que Abril abriu
ainda pouco se disse
um menino que sorriu
uma porta que se abrisse
um fruto que se expandiu
um pão que se repartisse
um capitão que seguiu
o que história lhe predisse
e entre vinhas sobredos
vales socalcos searas
serras atalhos veredas
lezírias e praias claras
um povo que levantava
sobre um rio de pobreza
a bandeira em que ondulava
a sua prórpia grandeza!
De tudo o que Abril abriu
ainda pouco se disse
e só nos faltava agora
que este Abril não se cumprisse.
Só nos faltava que os cães
viesses ferrar o dente
na carne dos capitães
que se arriscaram na frente.

Na frente de todos nós
povro soberano e total
e ao mesmo tempo é a voz
e o braço de Portugal.

Ouvi banqueiros fascistas
agiotas do lazer
latifundiários machistas
balofos verbos de encher
e outras coisa em istas
que não cabe dizer aqui
que aos capitães progressistas
o povo deu o poder!
E se esse poder um dia
o quiser roubar alguém
não fica na burguesia
volta à barriga da mãe!
Volta à barriga da terra
que em boa hora o pariu
agora ninguém mais cerra
as portas que Abril abriu!

KATI VEREBICS - katalin Verebics


My name is Kati Verebics. I would like to tell you something about myself and my artistic work.
I finished my studies in the University of Fine Arts in Budapest.
I graduated as a painter and graphic artist.
I have to mention here that I have a very talented painter sister, Agi Verebics. My last exhibition was together with her as Verebics sisters show in a very nice gallery in Budapest.

The story of how I became a painter began in my childhood. My mother was a drawing teacher in an elementary school, my father was a major who organized a lot of exhibitions in a little, surrealistic village in the Hungarian countryside. He invited many very talented and famous artists to exhibit on the magical little island on which stands a Dutch style house surrounded by a pond. Artists always liked to exhibit there. So finally I had to become an artist as the magic entered me !
Why was it important to speak about this? Because some of my works was inspired by this unique, magic and surrealistic place where I grew up.

Mainly I live and work in Budapest but quite often abroad.

I Received a two month scholarship to Rome, in Italy two years ago and I lived and a worked in this beautiful ancient city. It was a great experience to explore the great and famous buildings and visit to Sistina Chapel and see Michelangelo's frescos in person. After Rome I had the chance to exhibit in a grand and well respected salon in Budapest.

In 2007- I received the Gundel prize for contemporary art
In 2008-2009 - I received the Prize of Kogart
In 2010 - I got a Rome residency prize.

I paint mainly oil on canvas but I like to mix serious techniqes on the panels. Example one of my favorite technic is the collage. I like to find old newspapers and books and then cut out and arrange what interest me.
Basically my main theme is figurative and analyzed..I like to choose people who are able to inspire me. Many of them have been my models. I am used to taking lots of photos before I paint. Its not rare that my model is myself, or one of my family members and friends. Ocassionally unknown people who inspire me. Sometimes I also paint landscapes but usually there are figures in the landscape. I painted some landscapes of my home village and English countryside landscapes as well.

I hope you all enjoy my works and find inspiration in them !

László Fehér



1971-1976 Studies at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Art in Budapest under Lajos Szentiványi and Ignác Kokas.

His art was honored with several awards, among them the Munkácsy Mihály and Kossuth Prize. In 2007 he was the Ambassador of Hungarian Culture.




























„László Fehér's paintings have a subtly stark innocence. Again and again one sees the same care image, as though witnessed by an inner eye - a vision slowly brought into focus as it emerges from the unconscious: transparent, almost invisible figures - often only one, a child - reduced to their contours, and alone in a fiat void, usually black and gray, that is, colorless, but sometimes, ironically, bright yellow, as though the deserted scene was bathed in the light of a sun that would never set. The image is grim, yet it is also oddly comical: the figures are ghosts in a barren land- scape - an ironic Elysian field - but do ordinary things in an innocent way. They play with toys (Junge mit Luftballon and Kreisel, both 1991), float on rubber mattresses (Auf dem Wass er, 1990), have a swim (Im Wasser, 1990), embrace on a bridge (Paar, 1991), have a smoke in private (Der Raucher II, 1991), walk in a park (Steinvase, 1990), and feed the bird that swims in its lake (Swan, 1994). They are altogether relaxed and unself- conscious. Little good their innocence does them: it is threatened by their bleak environment. They may be unaware of it, but it holds them in its deadly grip."

Attila Adorján

The art of Attila Adorján is on the boarderline of reality and imagination. His foremost motivations are archaizing based on respect for painting traditions, and creative experimenting with metals, forms and artistic devices, for the revival of classic genres. The works being born evoke certain styles as a reference, buti n thuth they cannot be connected to any of them. attila Adorján, going beyond early close attachements, creates a new unique pictorial world: a reality that belongs solely to him." (Citation from Judit Szeifert's text. In: Attila Adorján , Budapest, 2009)

Education:

1986-1991: Painting school of Óbuda, master: László Gyémánt
1992-1996: Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, master: Sándor László Veress
1996-1998: Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, master: Dóra Maurer
2005 STRABAG Award

Péter Tanka




Peter TANKA got his diploma in Painting at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2010 (Master: Orsolya Drozdik). In the centre of his creative interest stands the human body. In previous years he created series to map the properties and function of guts, body parts and bodily fluids. At Friss2010 he won the exhibition prize, KOGART Bursary with his work titled Köszönöm (Thank you) I-II. This pair of works could be seen as the end of his earlier systematic research that simultaneously shows the inner and outer reality of the “perishing” human body.

In the newest series of his relatives and acquaintances the softness and subjectivity of the watercolour technique stand opposite, again, with the sharp, objective and cruel honesty of the imagery of his painting. This kind of accuracy continues on the Spring Series, with the biological precision depicted flies and insects, hereby the primary messengers of the spring are under the enlarger of a painter.

Patrícia Jagicza


1986

Patrícia Jagicza graduated from the Painting Department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2011. The young artist experiments with different techniques and materials striving to find both her personal and artistic identity. Her creative interest found a focus in the women's roles. The Luchadora Series are self-portraits hidden behind shiny, intensive colored superhero masks, which reflect on the crisis of the fragile identity. In 2011 he won the one year Kogart Scholarship. In the same year she received a Collector's Invitation for the ESSL ART AWARD and her work has been shown at the final exhibition in the Essl Museum. In 2012 one of her work has been nominated for the Arte Laguna Prize and has been exhibited within the Painting Section at the Arsenale, Venice (17 March-1 April 2012).

ÁBEL SZABÓ



Ábel SZABÓ obtained his diploma in 1998 from the Graphic Faculty of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts Budapest. In 1999 he received the Derkovits-Prize, in 2006 the Strabag Artaward International and in 2011 the Esterházy-Prize sponsored by UNIQUA. The essential component in Szabó's work is the urban space and it's ironic, lyrical or dramatic representation. In his painting he found such an expression of this theme in which vacuity and neutrality leads to almost surreal effects. The industrial objects, the suburban environment, the seemingly deserted buildings, even if they are empty, they are about the relationship of the human being and his urban environment, and that most of us live here, out of necessity or acceptance.
