Fragment Painting

There are works by Hartung that are shrouded in the colorlessness of monochrome, and there are works that are richly elaborated with sumptuous colors. Some compositions - not only because of their small or large size - are statements like confessions, focusing on intimate moods, while other works are fresco-like revelations. In many of his works, the artist reduces his painterly expression to only a few motifs that float and float in the visual space of forebodings, while another group of his works is organized from a crowded composition built from countless details. In some of the works, the precise elaboration is unexpectedly replaced by a generously presented vision that collapses into free painting. His creations open a wide gate of interpretation possibilities, which are the scene of the duality of great passions, romantic emotions and a calm view of reality, the collision of aspirations with opposite motives, or rather focal points stuck on the border between dream and waking life. . Phenomena beyond reality, so-called grasping, exploring the world of imagination and turning it into reality, conjuring up dreams and visions, plunging into psychic depths, and characteristic use of motifs make this artist the successor to the aspirations of his great. predecessors. He believes in the reality-shaping and soul-shaping power of art. This is evidenced by his works in the public buildings and public spaces of his smaller residence in Budapest, and by the love of the people who live here. His sovereign visual system of ideas is characterized by an outstanding artistic representation of human physical and mental existence.
