Kopasz Tamás

Nagy T. Katalin:

For the past two decades, Tamás Kopasz (1958) has created works in the spirit of abstract art. Whilst there are close ties between his pictures and Abstract Expressionism, his Golden Age series saw the beginning of a style which, devoid of all ornamentation and with a powerful emotional basis, was not typical of contemporary Hungarian painting and has now become spiritual, lyrical abstraction incorporating gesture. The other characteristic feature of his consistently developed art is the unusual symbiosis of painting and sculpture, with gesture – the DNA of his art – present with equal intensity in two and three dimensions as they feed on each other.
