An Extraordinary Exhibition

After taking some time off of everything, due to things that needed my attention in real life, today I made time to visit a new exhibition, that ends tomorrow. It is a special one for several reasons and I didn't want to miss it. The main reason was, because these paintings have been painted by high school kids. All you're going to see here and in my upcoming posts have been created by kids in three years of their high school life.

The reason I love these exhibitions so much is, because you can see a different type of art, from young talents, who's style is not so sophisticated yet. They are starting their career and you can also see their evolution as each student has three artworks exhibited, from three different years. They need to paint a painting at the end of each school year and those are exhibited at the gallery each summer.

The best thing about this is that they got a chance to exhibit their work in the gallery. It is a huge help and a very nice gesture on behalf of the gallery, because at this stage of their career, not many galleries would grant them space. The major ones would say, come back in 10 years, when you made a name for yourself. So having an exhibition each year it's a huge opportunity for them.

The reason I am telling you this is, to warn you, to not expect Picasso level talents here and judge each one accordingly. Look at them as young talents.

Having a look at the paintings from a couple of meters, my first impression was, they have been given a theme as I could spot a certain similarity between their style. This is not a bad thing, on the contrary. You'll see what I'm talking about in a minute.

The theme given that year must have been still life and I suppose they needed to depict the still life through a special lens, a prism if you like. It's true that you need a minute or two, to examine the painting and see the details, but you'll see what I mean. You have fruits, tea pots, tea cups, all through the prism. I like the colors selected by Emese Adorján.

Another still life, different style. Seems like the work table of a painter, which is not surprising at all, nicely distorted by the prism. I'm certain you need a good dose of imagination and some experience with a prism that can create such images. Again, look at those lovely pastel colors. It's very pleasant to the eye.

A this point, I'd say this game is getting more and more interesting. I wish my English would be good enough to explain to you, how these prism lenses work, but it's not. S I hope you can figure it out just by looking at the painting. This still life has been painted through a multi angle prism as the image is quite distorted, compared to the other paintings and that's the beauty of it. Again, please note the lovely pastel colors.

Looking at this one, I was wondering, how disturbing is for you, that you have to look at the still life through these lenses, as that's how these young talents have depicted them. For me it's not disturbing at all, I can appreciate the effort that has been put into each painting. Trust me, it has not been easy to see these scenes like this, before creating the paintings. But they did it. This is where talent comes in.

Look at this beauty. The objects change color and size too, through the lens. In any case, whoever has thought about the topic of this assignment, knew what they were doing. This must have been a real test for them, but they have passed in my eyes.

Timea Ambrus

This may put you to the test as you need to look careful to be able to identify the objects forming the still life. I can see a glass, an apple, a knife and that's all. I love how all the objects have a geometrical shape.

Boróka Graur

Do you know what's unbelievable? That they all got the same assignment but you can't find two similar style.

Now, tell me which one you like the most. I hope you have a favorite :) Have you ever seen such still life paintings?

For new artists (and sometimes even for those who have been there for years) it is difficult to exhibit their works, a nice initiative of this gallery.

I really like Noémi Kiss' work. Thank you for sharing this new exhibition with us 🤗

You are right, big galleries would never open their doors for newbies like them.

I see Noémi Kiss is popular as you're not the only one who selected her work.

Those are just amazing for high schoolers. I really liked the 4th and 5th photos of the artworks you shared. It is challenging enough to paint the way it is, but to paint something you see through a prism, well thats just talented to me.

Isn't it? That's what I was telling myself too. Also, nice picks Joe! There are some real talents here and this is just the beginning. There's more to come!

Brilliant talent on display, I wonder how many will become famous in the future, whilst others drift off in to mundane vocations and just paint as a hobby.

Hard very hard to judge but Noémi Kiss just edges it ahead of Anna Vass

I took photos and this blog is my diary, so I guess time will tell who's going to become successful, or not. I'm going follow them to see, where we're going to meet again :)

Nice pick grindle, Noémi Kiss got two votes already.

Wow, it's hard to believe that high schoolers painted these works. Just imagine what they will do with a few more years under their belts! How fortunate they are to have a place to display their talents. I'm sure the boost to their confidence from public recognition will fuel their desire to keep painting. I am drawn to the work of Barbara Tóth, as it's soft and dreamlike appearance seem to invite one in to a very personal and private space...where the magic happens, if you will.

It is indeed a big help for them to get 2 weeks of exposure, or 4 weeks this year in a proper gallery. They are really talented and one can only feel lucky to have such an occasion, to visit this exhibition.

Barbara Tóth's painting is a nice pick. I like it too.

My favorite is Dorottya Mészáros. I like the colors and the way they change in each panel. I like still life paintings and enjoy this twist on a very traditional type of painting.

That is a lovely one, I like it too. Most likely it wasn't easy for them to paint through a prism, but they did an excellent job.

I rally love that you are highlighting the talent of these young artists. I hope that they will have the opportunity to see the support that they receive here. I hope that it will be encouraging for them. They all made great pieces of work and you are spot on to highlight the uniqueness of their own personal lens, in interpreting the assignment of "through a prism" for their still-life. It is NOT easy to select a favorite. I will say that the piece by Anna Vass, has an elegance to my eye that makes it feel as though it is dancing, like visual music. The piece by Noemi Kiss, incorporates light in a way that thrills me. What seems to me to be a sunbeam, is portrayed there toward the center. It's difficult to put into words why I love it. It is how it makes me feel the warmth and changing of the room, as if the sunlight enters and then fades behind a cloud and then brightens again, all while I am observing the canvas. besote.

Trust me, they appreciate such an opportunity.

I understand you perfectly. Sometimes I feel the same.

They are very kind, support the unrecognized talent and search for recognition as much as possible and this is very popular, you yourself have likes.

If they don't support them now, how can they expect to make progress, right?
