In a unique updating of brushless painting, Márta Kucsora lends a visual voice to the tension between macro and micro, movement and stasis, process and result. By creating fluid visual realms whose poetic motion reflects on the constant change inherent in all things, she questions the positionality of the beholder who is challenged to situate themself in a constant conversation with the unraveling patterns of colour. Of distinct visual impact, Kucsora‘s compositions echo with a creative force that originates within the intriguing chromatic designs she orchestrates. Diverse materials that either attract or repel each other constitute the point of departure for her groundbreaking technique where vibrant matter substitutes the artist‘s controlling hand. Pastes, lacquers and paints of varied density and viscosity enter an impassioned struggle upon their encounter on canvas, thereby resulting in patterns of rhythmic depth as the colour pigments condense and crystallise into animated formations. In pioneering this process, Márta Kucsora strikes a delicate balance between chance and control, ultimately embracing a gesture of self-abandonment in the expressive moment of matter taking over and choosing its own viable part. Active, conscious planning and preparation thus yield to the force of the uncontrolled which lends the compositions their remarkably autonomous nature.Unrestrained in their directed cadence, Márta Kucsora‘s works live by a raw, kinetic energy. Her canvases are constantly evolving, shifting, transforming sites, freed from any methodical rein as they solely abide by their very own laws. Never meant to illustrate or represent, her works refer to nothing but themselves, recalling the moment of their creation in an actualisation through the embodied viewer who by virtue of their physicality becomes the extension of the dynamic flow and motion of the colours. A sensation that lingers on in the beholding subject - repercussions of a sublime primordial force which in Márta Kucsora‘s paintings becomes viscerally tangible. Márta Kucsora has had solo and group exhibitions at CoBrA Gallery (Shanghai), Kahan Art Space Buda/Eva Kahan Foundation (Budapest), Postmasters (Rome), Képes Institute (Éger), The Concept Space (London), Pumpwerk (Siegburg), Langyuan Station (Beijiing), Kálmán Makláry Fine Arts (Budapest), Alludo Room Gallery (Milan), 21C Museum (Cincinnati, Ohio), Museum of Young Art (Vienna), Galeria Urbana (Las Águitas), Art Factory Gallery (Miami Beach).
