When you visit an exhibition, you have so much to see and digest, that most likely some details go unnoticed. Quite a lot, if I want to be honest, but as I take photos of the items exhibited, I have a second chance to go through them again and see what I didn't see back then.
This is how I can rethink what I saw at the exhibition, maybe see the artworks in a different way, but also discover some shocking, or funny details, like the one above.
Between Worlds - oil on canvas, 60x60 (2025)
This was a solo exhibition of Edith Vári Váncza, a special exhibition in so many ways I'd like to return to, due to the colorful nature of the paintings. As I said, it's a very exquisite type of art, not easy to read, especially if you spot what I spotted now, while preparing this post. At first I thought I'd let you know what I discovered, but then I thought, why not give you a chance to you tell me, what you can discover. Let me know in a comment.
Destruction - oil on canvas, 60x60 (2025)
The usual messy look that the artist has made us get used to, but this painting is a bit different. Apart from the strident colors, you can see the right upper part is blurry, compared to the rest of the canvas. It really looks like destruction.
Autumn Mood - acrylic on canvas, 40x40 (2024)
If I were to choose one, so far I'd choose this one for the obvious reasons. It's true that the colors are a bit stronger than I'd like and I mean the blue. The resit is fine, it's a semi-abstract nature painting, a nice autumn landscape.
Fruit Tree - oil on canvas 40x40 (2024)
And this is what happens at every exhibition. I see an artwork that I like, I think I'd be happy to have it, then I like the next one better and want that.
This fruit tree is very different from the other ones and I love it, for several reasons. As I've mentioned before, I'm starting to develop a strong sympathy towards paintings painted with a spatula, instead of a brush. I like how the paint is spread on the canvas and instead of invisible brushstrokes at times, you see wider stripes and I like it. A plus added here is the harmony between the colors. You don't see the strong and sometimes violent ones on one canvas.
This painting reminds me of a storm, but not in a bad sense of the word. It still appears messy, but it's good mess, if it makes sense to you :)
What you're about to see shows the greatness of the artist. This trio seems like a series to me and style is changing here as well.
Angel - oil on canvas 50x40 (2015)
Moses - oil on canvas 50x40 (2015)
Snake - oil on canvas 50x40 (2015)
It's a religious series, with deep meaning for those who are religious. From artistic point of view, unfortunately I can't read any of them. At the first one, I see a tree with a round hat, and at the last one, instead of a snake, I see a kid's face and a hat again.
I'm curious if someone is able to see more here. let me know.
Hope In The Dark (branches 3) - oil on canvas, 40x50, (2014)
Branches 2 - oil on canvas, 40x40, (2014)
Branches - oil on canvas, 40x40, (2014)
I like it when two or more paintings are forming a series and this is a lovely one, connected to nature, to trees and branches to be precise, but the problem was, these paintings were not next to each other.
If you have a closer look, you can figure out the angle the artist choose to paint these trees from. The first two are quite unique and I like it.
This is it for today, let's see what you can figure out this time :)
