Júlia Vécsei: Experimental Break

The watercolour on paper paintings reveal suspended situations – buildings, installations, plants and translucent yellow figures in between. Some details of the magical scenes appear several times, creating associative stories as variations of each other. As in Lajos Gulácsy’s Na’Conxypán, this dream-like world is for Vécsei a representation of desolation and the exit from reality. The experiences of the last three years, the unpredictability and isolation, led Vécsei to begin working on a series of indigo drawings (Closed Spaces, 2021-2022), which dealt with the limitation of communication and the anxiety caused by the situation. After this series of monotonous, repetitive work, she created a much more intuitive, detached world in the Experimental Break series, many of whose elements were inspired by Vécsei’s dreams.
