Gábor Városi - Stories, Artworks, Artistic periods

293 The gesture system over the basic image is formed by smearing, painting, splashing and dripping” – Gábor finishes his professional technical description. Knowing this, we can understand the meaning of the “more” and “different” that adds something to the great achievements of their rightly respected predecessors. The influence of Georges Mathieu or István Nádler is obvious, although the latter cannot deny the prolific influence of Pierre Soulages. But it’s been like that since time immemorial. The new always follows in the footsteps of the old. The important thing is how much one can add to what one already has. And Városi adds. Not only by combining the gestural character of the abstract expressionists with the sophisticated use of materials shown by Zoltán Tölg-Molnár and Gábor Dienes, but also by inspiring the viewer to constantly change the viewing distance with his new paintings.
