“They Are”
Young Hungarian painter Anna Nemes presents an intriguing display of works that focus primarily on the human body, but with a novel technique that melds intimacy and randomness – after dissolving acrylic paint, she applies it to each canvas and tilts the surface so that overlying layers of paint seep in unpredictable ways.

The exhibition can be visited on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11am to 6pm through June 3rd.
2/7
“Tribute”
Russian artist Vitaly Pushnitsky builds bridges between the past and the present in this collection of his enigmatic new paintings that blend classical artistic traditions and contemporary techniques.

“Electron”
Three-dimensional op-art takes eyes into unexpected realms within the glass sculptures of Hungarian artist György Gáspár, who presents his newest series of works in this solo exhibition. Lines and layers intersect to portray abstract shapes that seem to contain condensed worlds electrified with the refraction of experimentation.

“Double Focus”
Working with carefully layered abstract patterns that simultaneously provide enhancement and contrast to each painting, Magyar artist Péter Somody creates captivating images that have blurred and sharp edges to create optical illusions, inviting the viewer to discover each work’s focal point amid an air of mystery.
Where: Ani Molnár Gallery – Budapest 1088, Bródy Sándor u. 22

7/7
“Parallel Worlds”
By uniquely portraying varied Budapest scenery through original photos encased within thick blocks of glass (or more specifically, on layers of clear resins and lacquers), Scottish artist Jeff Cunningham is forging his own medium to create vividly translucent images meant more as abstract pictures than urban photography.
