Artist Statement:
"Fluctuation and turbulence
Painting 2002–2007
One might say, since the
courses and solutions of the
Kopaszian oeuvre can be
grasped by means of metaphors
only, that with the series
Renaissance, the genie was
released from the lamp. The
gestural idiom rapidly
proliferates and the almost
monochrome schemes switch to
passionate colourism and the
pictures are imbued with
light. The layers no longer
restrain, but rather liberate,
each other; subtle
transparencies, translucencies
and blends keep the surfaces
in perpetual motion. The
artist often uses pentimento.
Pentimento is the coming-out
of the gesture painter. “In a
moment man’s body turns inside
out, and what was innermost is
now vulnerably on the
outside,” Béla Kondor writes
in one of his poems. The order
of brushstrokes is visible;
the surface becomes a series
of painterly decisions. The
brushstrokes tell it all, even
the ones the painter has
“repented.” Which is from
where the Italian pentimento
derives, meaning to repent or
change your mind.
Tensions and relief, desire
and fulfilment are
materialised in the
subordinated, superimposed or
juxtaposed layers of the
works in the Renaissance
cycle. Having departed from
reality a long time ago,
Kopasz seeks to help us break
away...
