Exhibition:
60 portraits – István Orosz

In the Ornamental Palace (or Kecskemét Gallery by its official name), István Orosz’s pictures are going to be exhibited during KAFF, where a selection of the graphic designer’s animated films are also to be screened. István Orosz, who turns sixty this year, brings sixty of his previous and still-to-be-made portraits to the exhibition. The pictures are not going to be in any relations with each other in terms of style, genre or size. What is to be common in them is that they will all be portraits.

"Self-pictures. Though none of them are real. They say everyone makes self-portraits even if they are landscapes, still lives, genre paintings or mere abstractions. Everything is a portrait of the self, no matter if the artist admits it or not. No matter if we believe him or not. Of course, for some time he keeps it as a secret and tries to appear objective: this is a forest, he says, or a heap of books, and that is a street corner. Then someone comes, blinks his eyes, steps back and spots the head. The face. Details of the personality.”
