Németh, Géza (b. 1944): The Blackhead - From the Profane Saints-series

Details:

  • Date: 1992.
  • Size: 113,5×84 cm
  • Acrylic on board
  • Exhibited at Újpest Gallery and Körmendi Gallery, Budapest

Németh started his studies at the Hungarian High school of Fine Arts. He graduated as an architect yet painting has been dominating his life. In 1984 he was invited to New York, was a member of Ariel Gallery and had several solo exhibitions. In 1987 he won the competition of the World Bank to be followed by an exhibit in Washington D.C. His works were also on show in Arizona, Rome, Vienna, Paris and Moscow. The recurring elements of his art transcendent phenomena, while his manner of representation is a combination of realism and abstraction.

Abstraction was inherent in the technique itself – the use of transparent glue and its dissolution from paper painted in acrylic- of the series Profane Saints consisting of twelve pieces and created between 1898 and 1992. The frames and the space formed between the frame and the plane of the painting of these „laced” pictures tied to the frame with strings played the main role in creating the basically ironic effect (after an essay by Katalin S. Nagy).

Three pieces of the series form the property of the Hungarian National Museum.
