In 1971, Gizella<\/span> completed her studies in the Painting Programme of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, as a student of G\u00e9za F\u00f3nyi. The spectacle-based period in her painting reflects the influence of her teacher, who passed away in 1972. For a brief time beginning in 1976, she created collages. From the time of its foundation, she was an active member of Mikl\u00f3s Erd\u00e9ly\u2019s mosaic workshop (MURUS). We can encounter many of her mural works (which she both designed and created) in certain architectural spaces in Kaposv\u00e1r, Salg\u00f3tarj\u00e1n and Miskolc. In 1976, in connection to an old Scottish tombstone motif, she began focusing on the graphic, logical, and mathematical organization of four-arm spirals. Taking the four-arm spiral as her departure point, she created a combinatory system that is applicable to the language of painting. For two decades, her paper-based tempera paintings and silkscreen prints reflected the mathematical aspects of this system. After 1988, she began using watercolour rather than tempera to create her paintings (still based on the principles of the four-arm spiral). Aided by this subtly transparent material, she created visual structures grounded in superimpositions and interferences, which were interrelated in accordance with the formula of Fibonacci\u2019s linear, recursively defined sequence. As of 2000, in parallel to her gridded aquarelle structures, she turned to the motif of the Cretan Style Labyrinth and began her theoretical, mathematical and painting-related research on the topic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″

After graduating the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, she continued her studies at the Sorbonne in Paris. Following her early cubist and abstract period, as of the late \u201860s, she began researching the possibilities of computer-based art. Between 1974 and 1976, she developed the so called \u201cMolnar program\u201d, which she utilized in creating her early, unique, one-off computer graphics. The work method employed in creating the series \u2013 usually by computer, sometimes manually \u2013 is defined by two main characteristics: Molnar always works with parameters she can alter only to a minimal extent and she utilizes various systematic procedures on their own, without any variation. In terms of motifs, she almost always starts off with simple geometric shapes (square or rectangle), which are then gradually distorted by her algorithms into shifts and displacements \u2013 into arithmetic disorder. From the very beginning of her artistic activities, she has been interested in systems and in rendering those systems visible. In realizing her visual systems, she seeks utmost graphic precision, while concentrating on the systematic representability of computer-generated variations. It is only on rare occasions that she opts to manually map \u2013 to draw by hand \u2013 the geometric happenings taking place on the surfaces.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”box-l20″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”2919″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” el_class=”full-img”][vc_column_text]\n Vera Molnar: 100 square I-XII,<\/em> 1987, silkscreen print, 32 \u00d7 25 cm, 1\/1 | photos: Ferenc Eln<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”2924″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” el_class=”full-img”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”2929″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” el_class=”full-img”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”80″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Kamilla Sz\u00edj<\/span>\u2019s conceptual drawing-fields are just as characterized by stringent discipline as Vera Molnar\u2019s works. She began her studies in Offenbach am Main, Germany and completed her education in 2016 when she graduated from the DLA Programme of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. Kamilla Sz\u00edj\u2019s body of graphic work, which spans over decades, is incredibly consistent: her art is characterized by a reduced use of tools, materials and colours, as well as the banishment of narrative and, more often than not, acentric and additive composition. Her monochrome, conceptual graphic works, which are constructed from minimal motifs, are often created with a single (graphite) pencil. The surfaces produced by using reduced forms and traditional techniques are characterized by a combination of unique graphics solutions and printmaking methods. In her works, a few basic motifs wander \u2013 from time to time, from surface to surface. On the infinite horizontal and vertical surfaces of the drawings \u2013 which sometimes end in rolls \u2013 waves often operate as interferences constructed in opposition to the direction of the image field. In addition to basic geometric shapes (circle, oval, square), lines \u2013 which can be straight, broken, wavy, long, short or even densely woven \u2013 are also given special emphasis. There is simultaneous figurativity and abstraction. The large-scale drawings, constructed from tiny lines with Spartan discipline, are woven like \u201ccarpets of lines\u201d into connected, coherent systems. From this fabric of wreathing and swirling lines, here and there, spheres, surging waves and broken lines emerge.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”box-l20″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”2935″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”2936″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][vc_column_text]\n Kamilla Sz\u00edj: Untitled,<\/em> 2017, paper, pencil, 150 \u00d7 150 cm | Untitled,<\/em> 2017, paper, pencil, 150 \u00d7 150 cm | photos: Ferenc Eln<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”2938″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”2939″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” vertically_center_columns=”true” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” color_overlay=”rgba(255,255,255,0.92)” overlay_strength=”0.95″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”p-3-1″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”]
