It's time to show you another batch of the beautiful and amazing paintings I saw last month in my favorite art gallery. You can read about the first part of my experience, in which I shared why this exhibition was so particular, here -> Messy, But Amazing World Of Paint.
For those of you who missed my first post and don't want to read it, let me give you a brief introduction. It was a solo exhibition of Edit Vári Váncza, a lady that has shown me a style I've never seen before. At first glance, when you enter the gallery, every painting looks like a huge paint mess on the canvas, and may look even disturbing, but after a closer look, you see how deep the meaning of each painting is.
First let me show you the gallery from inside. As I mentioned in my previous post, this was an underground parking lot, which is now a gallery and a meeting room for whoever wants to host an event. There's a studio as well, where you can air a show, so this place is an amazing one.
The Lords Of The Sky - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 90x80 cm
Almost every painting, at first glance looks like a big mess, then if you have the patience to look at it in details, you see what the artist meant. The lords of the sky here are the birds. Let's see, how many birds you see? I'm not going to tell you how many I see, let this be a game.
From artistic point of view, I think this painting is brilliant. Do I like it? Yes, I do, but would I hang it on my wall? Most likely not as I still find it messy.
Cold Flame - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 90x80 cm
Blue is a cold color and flames are usually far from cold, but in art everything is possible, without exception.
Attachment - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 90x80 cm
What do you see here? To me it seems like an embryo, with an eye looking at me, or the viewer. I'm not sure if I'm right, but could be as an embryo is attached to the mom for 9 months, more or less and the position of the red spot also resembles of an embryo.
Judgment - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 90x80 cm
When I first looked at this piece, my first thought was Storm but I was wrong. I thought the red face is the face of a storm, then you have the hands, like trying to stop something. To be honest, I don't know why this piece is called judgement, but I like the face and the hands, they are so life like.
Are these two paintings connected in any way? The colors and the style says yes, but the themes ... not really, or I can't see the connection. let's see what the artists say here and I'm a bit lost.
Presence - Oil on canvas, 2021, 70x50 cm
This is an interesting one and I'm trying to figure out if it has a deeper meaning than the one I can see. I see the elderly gentleman is present, but I'm wondering if the background, that at some point covers him as well, has a deeper meaning. Is that the universe? Or what is it?
The Blue Bird of Happiness - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 60x50 cm
The Price Of Shining - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 50x60 cm
I'm not sure if the meaning is understandable, I'm afraid it's lost in translation, so let me explain it. Shining, as in a movie star is shining in front of the cameras at a festival, or something like that.
As you can see, there is the devil (I think it's the devil) above you, which is true as once you're famous, you don't have a private life, you're followed everywhere and danger is following you as well. There's a heavy price to pay. What is funny is that when people are not famous, they would give and do anything to become famous, then when it happens, they would also give everything for a quiet minute and a relatively normal life.
There were these two paintings, one next to the other and at first site you think they are pretty much the same, mean the same. I thought so too, but I was wrong and you are too.
Flare - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 50x60 cm
Flame - Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 50x60 cm
Unfortunately there was no possibility to take a decent photo of them, without having my shadow on the canvas, so this is what I could do under those circumstances.
Now, I hope the translation is ok and you can see the difference. Can you?
So all in all, I tried to pick one, that I'd hang on my wall, but I think I'm going to skip it this time. There are other paintings of this exhibition and maybe I can find one, or more, among those, but not this time.
Let me know if you have a favorite.
