At the solo show by Imre Bak (born 1939) at the acb Gallery, his monumental painting cycle from 2020 entitled Situation makes its debut in an exhibition setting, after being displayed virtually as part of the Art Basel Online Viewing Room. After the 2019 retrospective exhibition held at the acb Gallery on the occasion of the artist’s 80th birthday, Bak opened a radically new chapter, the predecessor of this new painting cycle as a smaller-format collage series. Bak created wild and deconstructed compositions out of the recycled silkscreen pages, similar to his work in the 1980s.
