Muse of Szentendre. Collected Works of János Aknay
2010. Jan. 30. - 2010. Mar. 28.
The art of János Aknay (1949, Nyíregyháza) is both horizontal and vertical, earthly and celestial. In terms of its themes and motifs, its horizontal extension is almost limited to the city boundaries, seen through the glasses of Szentendre, but its vertical elevation is spiritually charged, its imaginary ethereal dimensions and cosmic time traversing boundless trajectories, universal in its scope. The exhibition Szentendre Muse is a representative display of Aknay’s art of a celestial and terrestrial nature, which, with its captivatingly instinctive and highly conscious imagery that has been present for almost forty years, is unique and daring not only in Hungary but also internationally.
