ARCHITEXTURES

Two artists – two worlds – two scales

Zoltán Popovits is a Hungarian-Finnish-American sculptor, jewelry designer, and honorary doctor of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest. He is known as a contemporary sculptor from Helsinki to Denver and from Budapest to Eger. Dr. Csaba Rosta S. is an architect and artist who has traveled extensively in Finland. Most people know him for his iconic buildings and his gallery boat that once floated on the Rába River.

The two exhibitors have maintained a kind of mentor-friend relationship since 1991. The current exhibition is a large “texture print” of the inspirational map of works created during their more than 30-year friendship.

Szaladják „Taikyo” István: Tus-fényképek

Opening Event: 2025. April 10. 19:00

“These images have a deliberate simplicity, as Zen teaches, the mountains are mountains, and the rivers are rivers. The images consist of two elements: the white space and the black-gray toned picture. The formative power is the white. The white space shapes the world, not the appearing world. The white, fundamentally radiant space is also the space of creation, of creation, and of consciousness.”
