Installation, 2015

Reflex, Nagy Balogh János Gallery, 2015

UV-installation. Our exhibition Reflex with Takács Szilvia was in the Nagy Balogh János Gallery, at Kispest.
The opening speech accessible at kispest.hu.
I've painted with UV paint the anamorphic image on the walls of the gallery. On a plinth two palm-shaped metal detected the heartbeat of the viewer and accordingly turned the UV light on and off. The viewer, keeping his hand on the sensors, stands aside to the image so they can not see it from the correct viewpoint. In fact who makes it possible for the others to see the anamorphic image from the right perspective, can not see it from the correct viewpoint.
In this installation, several art forms are mixed: a painting was the starting point (Zurbarán's Agnus Dei), that was transformed into drawing and then it became an installation. To transform the painting into a drawing, I used a classic graphical method: instead of cross-hatch, parallel lines of changing width build up the tone values. Engravers used this technique to create dark-light contrast by thickening and thinning the adjacent lines, so they could reach a photo-like effect from a certain distance. One of the best-known examples is the Christ of Claude Mellan, where a single line spiraling out from the center creates Christ's head.
