exhibition of Niké Nagy painter

Ultramodern Solitude

2024. 06. 13. – 2024. 06. 30.

In the arrogant river of contemporary modernity, because there is another

much more permanent modernity, the sensory tributary represented by the

painting of the artist Nagy Niké appears as a return to the sensitive. With clear

or murky waters, depending on the period and time. With above all an

appearance of evanescent fragility, assimilated to the very rich hours of the

Pre-Raphaelism of the Rossetti brother and sister or to the Baroque

Romanticism of the Savinio Father and son. This means that the transposition

of reality into visual poetry evocative of a parallel but tangible universe,

becomes painting after painting an existential evidence owing nothing to

marketing or fashion. An authentic timeless light signature for a geopoetic

aesthetic wandering is leading the viewer to the confines of another Europe.

That of liberated nations that have become citizen spearheads for an astonishing revenge of the sensitive on nothingness, of poetry on materialism
