Windless
2025, February 26 – March 23
PUCCS Contemporary Art
Opening: 2025, February 25, 6-7.30pm
Katalin Szeivolt's installation in the space of Puccs was born from her "encounter" with Kacusika Hokusai. She began to work more closely with the master's oeuvre as a museum educator at the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asian Art. She studied the all-encompassing "Great Wave" and created her own waves. Encounters through the dense tapestry of time, from which visions on shredded canvas were born.
Windless is a great sea of tears, drawn, painted, sculpted, a rippling world of tears, of inner weeping and sobbing, of joy and sorrow. A still image, a situation report, an assessment and awareness of stuckness and aimlessness. The question is, 'where to next?'
Katalin Szeivolt graduated in 2000 from the painting department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, where her master was Károly Klimó. As a young artist, she had several solo exhibitions, mostly in non-classical exhibition spaces, in line with her work. After a longer period of artistic activity, she recently started to show her work again. In addition to her creative work, art education has been a priority in her life, running her own drawing school until 2020, and is currently a museum educator at the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asian Art.
