Peeping at your own risk - Solo exhibition of Andrea Rádai
Our final exhibition of the autumn season is presented by Andrea Rádai, a painter living and working in the Netherlands, through which we also join the Art Weekend Budapest programme.
Schedule
One of the key concepts of Andrea Rádai’s sensitively rendered, observation-based paintings is concealment and mystery. Despite their roots in direct visual observation, almost all of her works hide much more than they reveal. The framings are fragmentary, the compositions seemingly incidental, resembling snapshots more than traditional paintings. Faces are often blurred, and the balance of light and shadow frequently tips towards the latter. The canvases—painted with skilful, loose brushstrokes—regularly feature a blur effect borrowed from photography, lending the images a mysterious, enigmatic character. Their velvety, sensual quality both soothes the gaze and leaves the mind unsatisfied, as the many small story-fragments, scenes, and captured moments feel familiar yet never coalesce into a complete narrative.
