“For one who flies above, this land is merely a map,
and does not know where lived Vörösmarty Mihály,
what does this map hold for him? factories and wild barracks;
but for me crickets, oxen, steeples, peaceful homesteads;
he sees factories in his lenses and cultivated meadows,
while I see the worker too, who for his work trembles.”
Miklós Radnóti: I cannot know – in Gina Gönczi’s translation
Analog Angelika is a Hungary-based artist of Soviet descent: a former street-art creator, Budapest devotee, ultra-contemporary painter, and urban chronicler.
Through landscape painting she articulates her relationship with — and emotional responses to — Budapest, Lake Balaton, Pécs, and often to Hungary as a whole. Among these unembellished yet inherently beautiful spaces, journalist László Szily has written that in the My Budapest series it is magical symbolism that binds the works together, at times with powerful colorist overtones.
Eastern culture scholar and translator László Sári described the artist’s early, often minimalist and almost naked compositions as deeply philosophical and timeless.
E táj (“This Land”) presents a selection from three major series — My Budapest, Nekem a Balaton (“My Balaton”), and TV Towers — capturing profoundly subjective impressions and emotional imprints from the Balaton Uplands, Pécs, and the hills of Buda.
The exhibition will be opened by Krisztián Nyáry, one of the city’s greatest admirers, with performances by Ágnes Bodor, cellist, and Krisztián Csík Csaba, actor and performer.
