One of the frailties of the human race is our desire for immortality; to leave an imprint that says to future generations that we existed and that we mattered. These works express such monuments as they might exist somewhere both inside and outside of known time. They seek to illustrate the difficulty and investment inherent in creating monuments likely to be destroyed by future generations, who will build their own monuments in a desire to express their own cultural, religious and political identities, often while destroying the identities of those who came before. The destruction of these monuments can happen in an instant, like the World Trade Towers, or can require vast amounts of energy to take down, like the Berlin Wall, or the statue of Stalin that once resided in Budapest. Sometimes they are monuments of function and future generations understand them, like the Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria; other times their functional uses are not recognizable to us, such as Stonehenge. Finally they are monuments to hubris; to the desire to prove that we mattered. In the end they are both as frail, and as mighty, as the human race. These images seek to explore this duality.

Hungary
Zoltan Janvary began his art and teaching career in the ancient Hungarian city of Budapest. In 1995, he relocated to the US, settling in Reno, Nevada. He is greatly influenced by his family’s rich history as well as his country’s literary and mythological traditions. These forces, blended with those of the new world, have created an individual, original style. He is of a generation that contributed several talented painters, sculptors and graphic artist to Hungarian contemporary art. During his classical training at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, he won many National and International scholarships and prizes, allowing him extensive study and travel abroad. In 1991, he received his M.F.A. and became not just an art professor but a well known artist himself, as a painter and printmaker. He currently teaches at the Truckee Meadows Community College, Reno, NV as a drawing and painting Instructor.
