Displacement Painting

Painting: Acrylic on Wood. In Romvári's case, 'joy' is key, giving him an inner strength to work with, rather than happiness or delight, his experimental energy.keeping his creative curiosity in perpetual motion, takes his art down newer and newer paths. In terms of his painterly methods, the artist thinks in layers, numerous layers, whose sensitive surfaces allow the planes beneath to filter through around microscopic or 'astral' coordinates. His canvases are a multitude of organic shapes such as cellular formations and resin patches, achieved variously by pouring, tweaking and sometimes even blowing. The construciton of images thorugh the stacking of cells allows for an infinity of variations, which in turn allow for an infinity of opportunities for interpretation. Among his painterly tools we can observe the following motifs throughout his oeuvre: trees/forests, waves, gates, water/reflections. the horizon, cells or biomorphic shapes. A toolkit, which serves as the basis for his creative process. “I am exploring new worlds in the field of oil painting. Although I am working with non-objectivity, this does not mean that I am not interested in reality. I am searching the hidden side of nature and reality for the flow of densely woven waves within the elements of earth, fire, water and air. At first sight, my paintings could be viewed as single cells, organisms, or biological building blocks – a microscopic world locked in a Petri dish. My intention is to show the intensity of close, pulsating powers. Based on my visual experience, I create new worlds through my own visual system. I am interested in observing changes, while wandering through biomorphic imagination. As I paint, I create a balance between the planned and the improvised. The forms in the painting open a world to the imagination of the viewer. There is an airy opacity to the form, a moment of suspense and glowing colours that the gaze can sink into. After much experimentation, I hit upon the lacquer technique, which I feel provides the best means of visualizing the effect I am seeking.” Keywords: abstract art, Hungarian, colors, contemporary, artist, lightballs, balls, modern
