Gaál József

Szeifert Judit:

The art of József Gaál (1960) transcends genres and it is also rich in abstractive methods. His stylised representations are actually sophisticated character portraits. He usually utilises grotesque visual presentation and delivery. The primary feature of his art is his intense connection to the past. His universe of private mythology leads to the world of ancient rituals while using various forms of decay. His archaism is saturated with transcendental and metaphysical content.
