“I wish they (viewers) could travel back in time to their childhood to experience that childish amazement again, that free association, playfulness, heightened fantasy."
Primarily inspired by the aesthetics of Eastern European animated films, Mátyás Erményi’s most recent series can be technically characterised as a subtle oscillation between drawing and painting. His latest group of works portrays anthropomorphic, coniferous pine trees as the protagonists. There is also a subjective thread connected to Erményi’s trees in this series, which connects back to the generation of the artist's great-grandparents who once planted these pine trees in the yard of their multi-generational family home.
