The exhibition of painter Zoltán Gonda, entitled “80 is not a problem!” (Nem Gond(a) 80!), will open on the 1st of March at 6.00 p.m. at  Bényi Gallery.  The artist, who has been recently awarded the Debrecen Prize for Culture, started out as a painter and  has exhibited his works in solo and group exhibitions from 1965, and then for almost two decades mainly produced graphic works alongside painting. His works of art can be found in museums, galleries and private collections in Hungary and abroad, and he has exhibited in Poland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Germany, Romania, China, Canada, the USA, Slovakia and Macedonia. After seven years of silence, he took up the brush again, and at the same time sought a specific renewal in graphic expression.

Exhibition entitled "I'll tell you in the language of painting" is opening at the Simonffy Street Youth Centre on the 4th of  March at 4.30 p.m. The exhibition will be opened by Managing Director of DEMKI János D. Halász, and President of the Association for the Great Forest of Debrecen Ibolya Marincsák with the contribution of  Napsugár Bartha. For János Maksai, love is the key word. He feels comfortable in the world and does what he loves: painting. For the painter from Debrecen, creating is the most natural part of life. His life is usually predictable: he gets up in the morning and goes to paint... And for recreation he sometimes does gardening and is active around the house.  He has been painting for more than fifty years, and in that time he has put thousands of paintings on canvas. Some of them are quite small, but some are 150x320 cm, which he assembled from three pieces, because otherwise they would not have fit into the painter's studio. As the gallery is also an event hall, the organisers ask visitors to get informed about the exhibition visiting hours at phone number 06-52/415-498.   Date: 4-27 March Location: Simonffy Street Youth […]

The exhibition, entitled Vanishing Landscape will open on the 5th of March Tuesday at 5.00  p.m. at the German Cultural Forum in Debrecen and can be visited until the 31st of March. The artist wants to draw attention to the problem of disappearing green spaces and places untouched by human intervention. There are fewer and fewer of these places and are being squeezed out year by year by new investments, and there is a real risk that the landscape we have known until now will disappear. Barbara Hubert was born in Rzeszów and attended the School of Fine Arts. She completed her higher education in the painting department at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, studying under professors Stanisław Rodziński and Leszek Misiak. She currently resides in her hometown of Rzeszów, where she is active as both an artist and educator. Date: 5-31 March Location: Debrecen German Cultural Forum Source: dehir.hu

MODEM's latest exhibition titled "The Image of Colour, the Mystery of Image" opens on the 9th of February. The exhibition presents a comprehensive selection of monochrome paintings from the Antal–Lusztig collection, which is one of the most important private collections in Hungary. The owner of the collection, which includes hundreds of domestic and international works, dr. Péter Antal started buying monochrome paintings in the mid-2000s, which have since formed an important segment of his collection. In the past decades, we have seen a small or large selection of monochrome works at numerous domestic and foreign exhibitions. Among other things, the importance of these exhibitions is given by the fact that, thanks to this exceptional collector's commitment, the spirit and heritage of monochrome painting lives on not only in individual works of art, along the lines of consistent creative endeavours, but also emerges from time to time in the public discourse on the occasion of exhibitions selected from the Antal–Lusztig collection. This time, a selection exhibition from the monochrome segment of the Antal–Lusztig collection, organised into 7+1 separate units, guides the visitor. Through the research of monochrome painters, it guides you through concepts of painting that are thought to be obvious, […]
