Zsolt Berszán
Body in the Field 1 - 21st Century, Landscape, Green, Blue, Painting

2022

About the Item

Body in the Field 1, 2022 oil on canvas 55 1/8 H x 39 3/8 W in. 140 H x 100 W cm Zsolt Berszán embodies in his works the dissolution of the human body through the prism of the fragment, the body in pieces, and the skeletal carcass. It is the bone that contains within itself a silent past suggesting links to an unimagined future. The bone gives meaning to the transcendence of space and time. His mutilated bodies are outside an individual memory and are the remains of anonymous, collective bodies not linked to the memory of a specific person or experience. Decomposing bodies, human remains and carcasses, bodies in pieces, populate his landscapes. The subject is the human body abandoned in the field, which reflects the seemingly contradictory idea of being present through the duality of presence-absence. However, everything describes a disintegration and disappearance into nothingness. The ephemerality of the body is depicted by a series of contortions, eviscerations, and decompositions that create a macabre game in a background immersed in solar plenitude. The vividness of the colours may refer to the hope of reintegration into nature, of fusion and rebirth. Thus, from this perspective, the body trace becomes a metaphor for life and memory.

My childhood - 21st Century, Landscape, Yellow, Green, Blue, Figurative
By Alexandru Rădvan
Located in Baden-Baden, DE
My Childhood, 2013 Acrylic on canvas (Signed front right corner) 79 1/2 H × 127 1/5 W in. 202 H × 323 W cm The artwork “My childhood” was part of the exhibition “Epic”(2013, see install shot) dedicated to the great adventurer Ulysses, a character that has the only desire to come back home. Returning home involves a series of adventures, memories, desires, tests. Heraclitus in Plato's "Cratylus" was saying: "Everything changes and nothing stays still [...] you cannot step twice in the same river." "My Childhood" is about remembering an ideal time, about sunny days full of warmth and freedom. It's about childhood, as we remember it over years, as a time and place with unprecedented perfumes. Rădvan wrote about this work: “It has happened that none of the places where I grew up exist anymore. Either they have disappeared, or they have changed so much that they have become a new place that does not mean anything for me, which I do not have a common history. I avoid them because it makes me sad not to recognize them and I do not want them to hate them. This painting is an old memory of my "Paradiso perduto".
