Eszter Radák: The thrush trills
A strong sarcasm lurks in Radák’s paintings radiating the nihil of Edward Hooper, which elucidates in the ruffled drawing and object structures, the “trick” of the theoretical perspective transforming into two dimensions. The pictures clairvoyantly indicate the rigidity of the artificial world of pathetic art.
Her point of origin is always reality, her own environment, her home, objects in her house, the garden, the surrounding landscape. The figurativeness of these objects is however shattered by her conceptual abstraction and strange changes of perspective. Radák ruffles the thick paint with her brush, thus redirecting the eye from the plane composition onto the surface of the canvas. Her paintings are part of numerous public and private collections.
