Schedule
The exhibition presents the latest works of Bence Knyihár; it aims to preserve painting as a medium from several angles.
Bence Knyihár has been a member of the Artus Studio community since 2016. The possibilities offered by the monumental space thus available are in line with his painting ambitions. For him, it is fundamental to perceive the relationship between image and space, to explore the qualities of the canvas. An increasingly prominent parameter of his work will be the vision of different pictorial interactions, the investigation of the material components of painting (layers of images, materials, surfaces, forms, colours) and the material relationship between the work as a physical object and its author. Painting becomes a process of cognition, and thus the artist's reflection on painting becomes the context of his or her work.
The exhibition is open from 31 May to 15 June 2023.
Artus
Artus is an open, diverse intellectual and creative workshop, a meeting place for people, ideas and art.
Artus is both Gábor Goda's company, the Artus Studio - a studio in an abandoned factory building of 2000 square metres - and the collective of 30 artists who work there, as well as the Association, which provides the institutional backdrop.
Founded in 1985, Artus is an independent, contemporary, all-arts collective. We have created more than 100 performances and presented them in 25 countries. Since the beginning we have organised international projects, residencies and co-productions.
The Studio's regular programmes include performances by the Artus company, guest performances, visual arts exhibitions, music and other cultural events, as well as self-awareness and movement workshops.
