Chamber Hall - 27 October 2024 – 26 January 2025
The exhibition showcases the works of 20 artists. In the practice of all the exhibiting artists, colour plays a prominent role, serving both as an object of thought and as a tool for creating and embodying ideas and sensory impressions. These works mature into precise artistic pieces that are not rooted in the visible world but are the result of individual intellectual activity, a refined and rigorous artistic approach, and an exceptional harmony of intuitive creation.
Although the exhibiting artists do not consciously strive for the highest form of beauty, their works are always characterized by the perfect balance of content, material, form, and colour, as well as the conceptual clarity of the presentation. Their pieces are created with focused thinking and minimal use of tools, often relying purely on color or on the mathematical relationships between colour, space, and form. These relationships highlight the plastic value and form-creating power of colour, and they are brought to life through colour dynamics, contrasts, movements, rhythm, structures, or through the consistent application of individual artistic rules and the internal logical connections of thought.
This is the second Swiss-Hungarian group exhibition organized by the Open Structures Art Society at the Vasarely Museum Budapest, offering a diverse overview of the formal and plastic possibilities of colour as coloured lines, stripes, planes, fields, masses, and colour-space or colour-force, as well as the conceptual diversity of concrete artistic endeavors. The exhibited works include paintings, graphics, wall objects/reliefs, and sculptures.
