    Attila Szűcs

    Hungarian • 1967

    Since the early 90’s Attila Szucs has been making traditional oil-canvas paintings. As a starting point, he often used media images, newspaper cut-outs, postcards, and film-stills. When painting, he concentrated on high density moments, when our everyday experiences and viewing practices became obsolete while decoding. He created empty spaces around the objects of thoughts and figures without defining them in a preconceived notion. It is the distance and the concentrated attention on absence that rules he relationship with painting. What he is most interested in is the search of interpretation of knowing and not-knowing, the way they are able to extinguish one another. He collects inspiration from the rubbish of collective memory, which she then re-interprets through the reality of painting. He attempts to dissolve the already defined and often false structures, and introduces new types of observation in a peculiar formal and compositional levitation, where the paintings’ vacuum-like state partially originates in the loneliness of represented elements, and partially from the transformation of metaphysical into universal.
