Item Description
This recently published book deal's with the artist's reflections and musings about his work, prose and poetry about his sculpture, painting, and drawing.
Gyuri Hollosy started his sculpture career at a very young age with a very classical, figurative beginning, and although his materials and visual concepts have changed a great deal over the years, the figure remains my constant source of inspiration. In the late 1970s he left behind the traditional figure as a solid unified whole and developed a new language of expression through bodies that were necessarily fragmented and partial. Influenced by Medieval and Eastern armor, he created works using this technical style to investigate the theoretical figure through the hollowness of the form and the linear edges of the flattened sections. By fabricating sections of materials, metal, wax or sawdust bonded with resin, he assembles these shapes and piece together each figure through a skin made up of multiple parts. The body is figured through a boundary that is porous, mingling interior and exterior and the seams between each element reveal a sense of strength and a sense of fragility. By exposing the process of construction on the surface, he imbues each figure with movement.
