ISTVÁN HÁASZ

ISTVÁN HÁASZ‘s art plays with light.

The course of the sun or artificial light sources, including candlelight, create shadow games and light-flooded visual axes in the geometric angles and paths of his three-dimensional wall objects.

Despite this changing impressions, his art radiates a great calm.

Yet beneath the surface of many of his works lies the chatter of the world: numerous layers of monochromatic (preferably yellow) hues cover collages made of snippets from daily newspapers.

He is treated as a representative of Concrete Art – ARTBASE sees in him, above all, a magician: starting from a simple geometric basic form he demonstrates the diversity of perspectives.
