Untitled 

This painting is by Tiberiy Szilvashi, and the materials are simple: paint on canvas, though the effect is anything but. Look closely, and you will see how the pigment has been worked. It's less about illusionism, and more about the material of painting itself. The orange paint has been applied in layers, revealing the gestures of the artist's hand. This technique shows the labor involved in the production process, which is more contemplative than industrial. The colors, though vibrant, carry a subtle depth, and the composition with its vertical blue and purple accents, emphasizes the painting's presence as a physical object. Szilvashi engages with the traditions of fine art, but also brings a sense of materiality that recalls the broader world of craft. By emphasizing the physical qualities of his medium, he blurs these boundaries, inviting us to appreciate the work for both its intellectual and tactile dimensions. It's a powerful reminder that the meaning of art lies not just in what it represents, but in how it is made.
