SIMON HANTAI
The oeuvre of a great pliage master at our latest exhibition
Our latest exhibition introduces a selection of masterpieces created by Simon Hantai, the outstanding French painter with Hungarian origins. The compositions of Simon Hantai – considered as one of the biggest masters of the so-called pliage technique, a method based on knotting and folding – painted onto folded and crumpled canvases create really unique impressions: as if one was looking at the world through the lens of a kaleidoscope. The exhibition organized in co-operation with the Kálmán Makláry Fine Arts Gallery brings important works by Hantai for the audience never exhibited in Hungary before.
