Vajda Lajos Dinamikus Egyensúly 1939, Tus, Papír, 90,5x63,6cm 1939

In 1939, Vajda Lajos made this drawing called "Dynamic Equilibrium" with ink on paper, and immediately I'm struck by the way the marks build up this creature. It’s like a puzzle where each piece has its own pattern, a visual code. The marks are so varied. Some are tight and dense, like fur, and others are loose, almost like scribbles, yet they all come together in a sort of balance. The ink isn’t just applied, it's almost grown onto the paper. Look at the textures, the way the ink pools in some spots and thins out in others. There’s this one swirling pattern in the middle that feels like the heart of the piece, like everything else is orbiting around it. Thinking about other artists, I'm put in mind of Paul Klee because of the way he used playful marks and lines to build up complex images. It's not just about what the image is, but how it's made, and the dynamic tension between intention and accident. These artists create something that feels alive with possibilities.
