The White Paintings / Fehér képek (see catalog here)  juried exhibition of the Hungarian Painters’ Association opened on November 16th at the City Library and Gallery in Szigetszentmiklós, just outside Budapest, and runs through December 7th. 

The theme of white was new, offering opportunity for a contrasting or even opositional visual exploration to the past Black Paintings / Fekete Képek juried exhibitions of 2008 and 2011 (see catalogs here and here).  

My two pieces in the exhibit, White Fire – 1 and 2, were done in the context of the Attila József series. These two new works revisited József ‘s poem Fire is Now White (Most Fehér a tűz) already the source of a piece by the same name.
