These collages combines magazine cutouts with drawing, markers, and acrylic paint. Once these cutouts are removed from their original meaning, they become fragmented to the point of abstraction, with a suggestion of mechanical component. Discover the unique opportunities offered by the texture, familiarity and dynamics of paper and techniques using markers, pencil-drawings and prints, moving from drawings to collages to revamp and create new visual forms.

Dark to Darkness

But I thought you said you loved me!

It's a captivating series of portraits based on 'Recapture,' a collection of photographs taken with Kodak disposables by 12 young participants, capturing their lives right after the pandemic.

In my current work, I’m focusing on the representation of the body undergoing transformation, abandoning formal purity and desiring disengagement from the human condition due to contemporary digital technologies and hopelessness. Tainting the paintings with my own foreignness, the paintings are imbedded in perpetual rootlessness, as the figures contain exile and otherness within themselves. Exploring notions of the cyborg and the prosthetic, these figures will stand between human and post-human, and will exist between a biotechnological medical body and the sexualized body, the fashion industry and anime. 

Contingent Bodies

Brigitta Kocsis’ work is a chaotic and visually charged deconstruction between figurative and abstract art where various styles collide and create newfound relationships on the canvas plane. Magnetic Fields is grounded in both fiction and formalism. The tension between the styles of painting and the subject matter converge as an existential landscape.

Secret Mechanisms focuses on investigating the shifting concepts of the human body and its environment. Contemporary discoveries in anatomical technologies have profoundly changed how one perceives the human body.  In Kocsis’ work, a series of characters is created with multi-part anatomical and technological allusions with a specific “trade” or “trait” assigned to each character; like dysfunctional poetic super-heroes in a contemporary comic strip. The tension contained within the bodies of the characters due to the pervasive technologies communicates a sense of contemporary environment in its fractured state.

Secret Mechanisms

Hide()us was created in 2011. The architecture of the paintings (characters, colors and shapes) is designed with form and meaning to constantly reexamine the narrative structure. The characters are like actors and depict a kind of abhorrent contemporary beauty where science fiction and artificial body parts are no longer fiction.
