András Wolsky
András Wolsky is represented by Ani Molnár Gallery in Budapest, Hungary.
Wolsky was born in Budapest in 1969 and studied Intermedia Education at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and painting under the direction of Dóra Maurer and Miklós Peternák. He is a recipient of both the Mouans-Sartoux (Fr), Espace de l’Art Concret residency award and the The Parisian Hungarian Institute’s scholarship for an artist in residence.
“What is exciting about this work, is that it is as new to me as it is to you,” he explains with a look that can only be described as delightful curiosity. He has found a way to fathom these grand concepts of Quantum Mechanics on a two-dimensional plane.
Wolsky’s work can sometimes appear as an optical illusion creating space through overlapping lines in tints from white to black, and sometimes flattened through the use of vibrating color and value. These qualities, along with the rules he creates for the works, have also inspired the composer Barry Guy, who composed a set of specific rules for violin, double bass, and percussion instruments to transform three of Wolsky’s paintings into music. This dynamic excited Wolsky and he hopes to work collaboratively on his painting process with musicians in the future.
