It always amazes me how the human mind works and how some people are wired one way and others the other way. You best see the differences when you go to exhibitions, events or presentations and you chat with the other participants. It's amazing how many interesting analysis you can hear of the same subject. I've seen people visit an exhibition in 5 minutes, that took me an hour and have heard people say the opposite things about the same item exhibited.
Why is that? No one knows. It is how human mind works. You may not like what I like and I may find horrible what you find fantastic. It is not a bad thing though as this is why the world is so colorful.
The best thing of all though is, that people change and they change their style, taste, interests and so on. I see this on myself and especially regarding art. There are things I did not like a few years ago, now I look at them with more acceptance and even admiration. Visiting so many exhibition has changed me in a good sense of the word.
Today I'm going to show you a lot of interesting artworks you may or may not like.
The artist's name is Anna Szotyory and the particularity of the exhibition was that the exhibited artworks were very different, ranging from graphics to watercolor and not only. It's not a unique thing among artists, but it's not something you see a lot either.
This type of graphics has always fascinated me because you only have the paper and ink, one color, to create something and there's no room for mistakes. You don't have paint to correct if one line is wrong. I'm wondering if they create a pencil sketch first, and then use ink, or go with ink from the beginning. Would be interesting to know.
Remember, this was a solo exhibition of the artist and this is what I meant. Earlier I showed you a graphics then comes a painting. A nice still life, from 1977. It's not often that you see old artworks, because these are mostly part of private collections and borrowing them for an exhibition is not an easy task.
This is where the talent of the artist shows. This is another graphics, but a different style, more complex in my eyes. It's a city with its detailed life.
I took some close up photos as it's impossible to see everything from the first photo. Look at the details, look at how detailed the graphics is. Unbelievable honestly.
After Bosch, 2024
Here we go, a watercolor, from the same artist, a very unusual one as you don't see many of this style. I love how the artist divided the paper in eight part and painted a different theme in each. Brilliant.
After Bosch
Another watercolor, same style. Now let's play a game. Tell me if there's a connection between the eight paintings and what's the theme? What would you call it?
Another brilliant artwork. I can only speculate obviously, as I didn't speak to the artist, but what I see here is "memories". Although it's a single piece of paper, it is made of two pieces. There's the central drawing, which is on top of another. I see a woman thinking about the different phases of her life. Her childhood with her sister, then her motherhood (holding her baby) and her ancestors, parents, grandparents. It's a brilliant concept, even though the topic is "heavy".
Watercolor, vase with colorful flowers. These paintings always make me think of the 20th century, or even the 19th.
Another watercolor, same theme, but in a different way. This painting makes me think of village life. The flowers are wild flowers, at least they look like wild flowers to me and the vase is basically a ceramic pot. Regardless, I love it. It reminds me from something in the past and I understand the painting has a different effect on everyone.
Évike
Here we go again, changing style and medium. This is linocut.
Looks charcoal to me, but I can't be sure. Some of the artworks had a title written on them, but most didn't. This one had no title either, so I can tell you only what I see and see sadness, but I love it regardless.
I'm still amazed how exceptionally talented the artist is. I loved every piece of the exhibition.
Now let's see which one your favorite is. I hope you have one :)
