Árpád Forgó

Árpád Forgó is interested in experimental painting, in the question of broadening the interpretation of non-figurative panel painting by keeping its painting feature and by exploring the borderline between painting and sculpture. Structure, shape, measurements and rhythm together with planar and spatial relationships are the focuses of his research. He investigates the relation between one and several, the issue of cardinality, oneness, unity and division, the whole and the segment. He works with traditional painting materials - paint, canvas and wood-; aiming for industrial perfection, still keeping the craftsmanship of the process.

Currently, he is researching modularity and perception, which he considers exciting fields to expand boundaries of a wall work. He keeps developing shaped canvas panels and through isometric transformations, building block-like, hollow, symmetrical or unsymmetrical modular compositions. He also experiments intensively with different compound painting processes in order to challenge the viewer’s perception not only by the structure but also by the material.
