Jo虂zsef Bulla虂s: Nonserial
J贸zsef Bull谩s is one of the most prominent figures of the contemporary Hungarian art scene. His oeuvre, spanning almost half a century, is the imprint of the work of a restless experimenter, of an artist who is constantly exploring.
Bull谩s鈥檚 works explore the boundaries of structures and repetitive systems, relying on optical illusions beyond perception and pushing the possibilities of spatial and planar dimensions. Using traditional painting techniques, his oil and acrylic canvases address the classical problems of painting, and explore the relationships between composition and space, materiality, vision, and illusion. His imagery, vibrant with color and enriched with optical effects, carries the stylistic traits of today鈥檚 virtuality, and complemented by deliberately structured compositions and precise forms. His unique voice and masterful technical solutions make him inimitable.
His latest paintings are inspired by Vera Moln谩r鈥檚 Mont Sainte-Victorie series. These new works are based on an iconic Bull谩s-grid-structure, unique to him, which he combines with elements reminiscent of mountain ranges, followed by color transitions and perspective effects. In doing so, he creates a visual complexity in each of his works that most closely resembles early digital visuality. These paintings capture a slice of infinite space, with illusory and repetitive geometric shapes and overlapping spatial planes that open new dimensions, never seen before. His exhibited works are fundamentally about a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between space, form, and color, where the mystery of disappearance and reappearance, and the enigma of values, collide with the concreteness of lines.
