65.-67. Painting

Gábor Király’s reservation is a well-protected, closed area where rare and endangered species live. His robust figures are peculiar transitions between human and animal, the domesticized and uncivilised world. Király’s painterly language has shown a unified, logical arc; throughout the years he used the tools of primitivism and nativism, with a great amount of irony and humour to portray the 21st century family-man. His visual world is honestly raw ignoring manners, while the elaboration of his works is brilliantly generous. Király creates the atmosphere of tribal, primitive cultures by the buoyancy of forms, and colours, rich, sprawling flora and painted utensils.
