Matching perfectly with the surroundings’ cityscape, the Krisztina Palace office was built according to the plans of Dezső Ekler, its facade was designed by Dominique Perrault, the acknowledged Paris architect. The office building became one of the main immobile-innovation projects of the Buda side. Behind its characteristic facade constructed of metal and glass elegant and light surfaces offer themselves as a space of exhibition within the peculiar scene of business life. Thus a fruitful encounter is realised between contemporary art and business enterprise, since the exhibitions also own a communicative or contacting function, communal experience and inspirative working condition and add to create the positive image.
The two renowned artists of the Molnár Ani Gallery are exhibiting together under the title Southern slope, also referring finely to the determining character of the location (The building is close to one of the main centres of Buda, the Southern Railway station). It is a rare occasion that the works of a painter and a sculptor can coexist and show themselves together in such a harmony. Szilard Cseke (1967) and Balázs Csepregi (1974) both draw on the subjects of the observed nature surrounding them, catching different motives of it, but conveying the same pure strength of expression and freshness. The rich layers of paint and the precisely worked aluminium and wood surfaces are reflecting each other. The simultaneously present naturalness and the purpose of abstraction is typical both of Szilárd Cseke’s painting and Balázs Csepregi’s sculpture. One of them creates forests of abstract layers of paint, the other landscapes or certain pieces of our surroundings out of spatial elements. The sculptures and the paintings are co-operating with each other, neither is dominating the other although both are dynamic. The artworks shown at the exhibition Southern slope – forest-compositions saturated with light and landscape-sculptures of our everydays – are not only capable of reflecting on each other but also answering effectively on the innovative and elegant surroundings. The exhibition can be visited from 24 March until 6 May 2010, weekdays between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Location: Krisztina Palace, 1123 Budapest, Nagyenyed u. 8-14.
