Tamás Boros, János Dévényi, Gyula Imre Nagy, Zsigmond Serényi
14/9 – 22/10 2022
Gaál Imre Galéria | Budapest | Hungary
The exhibition brings together the work of four Hungarian artists whose practices exemplify contemporary tendencies in geometric abstraction.
The show highlights a shared engagement with precision, structure, and the visual language of geometry, while revealing each artist’s distinctive approach to form, color, and spatial perception.
Tamás Boros explores the interplay between minimal forms and subtle chromatic shifts, creating compositions that balance mathematical rigor with a meditative visual rhythm. His work reflects a concern with how geometric order can coexist with perceptual ambiguity, inviting viewers to engage actively with each surface and its spatial tensions.
János Dévényi, by contrast, investigates the dynamics of modularity and repetition, building intricate visual systems that suggest movement and transformation within seemingly static structures. His pieces often evoke architectural and mathematical references, while maintaining an intuitive, almost playful sense of discovery.
Gyula Imre Nagy emphasizes the relational qualities of form and light, producing works where color and shape interact to define a precise yet fluid spatial environment. Nagy’s compositions often balance symmetry and asymmetry, creating visual fields that oscillate between order and disruption, prompting reflection on the nature of perception itself.
Zsigmond Serényi, completing the ensemble, focuses on the structural possibilities of geometric elements, exploring the tension between line, plane, and volume. His work engages with both historical abstraction and contemporary concerns, bridging formalist rigor with conceptual depth, and challenging the viewer to consider geometry not merely as visual syntax, but as a means of exploring complex spatial and cognitive relationships.
Together, the exhibition forms a dialogue between these four artists, emphasizing both shared concerns and individual voices within Hungarian geometric abstraction. Through their investigations of form, space, and perception, Geometrikus tendenciák presents a nuanced panorama of contemporary practices, highlighting how abstraction continues to evolve while maintaining its fundamental principles of clarity, balance, and thoughtful composition.
