Art and Antique Budapest 2025
6–9 February 2025
Bálna, Budapest
At the Art and Antique 2025 fair, Rechnitzer Gallery presents the works of Anna TÁNCOS.
Anna TÁNCOS (1992) is an architect who also paints, graffiti, ceramics and is always on the lookout for architectural forms and the oddities of people. But it all comes together: what inspires her and how she creates. He often wanders off to the landscapes where Csontváry visited, where the earth still hides Etruscan vases, but he is not interested in the cool beauty of marble, but in its ruins, where teenage boys in gangs listen to trap music. He is captivated not by the exposed pedestal of the classic Apollo torso but by its plastic souvenir, not by the baroque facade of Il Gesu but by the crumbling plaster of the pre-modern orange facades of Garbatella's suburban experiment, and is inspired more by the metaphysical paintings of De Chirico than by the star architects of post-modernism. These are mirrored in the transcendent ruins of his landscapes, his crystalline flower portraits under neon twilights and his statues of graces, with their crooked backs, struggling to hold the weight of ceramic bowls.

BUDAPEST CONTEMPORARY 2024
25–29 September 2024
Bálna, Budapest
At Budapest Contemporary, the gallery presents the works of Vanda Huminilowicz.
Huminilowicz's work focuses on the perception of the world. Her work is inspired by the philosophical movement of phenomenology, according to which things can be truly understood by experiencing them and identifying with their essence. Thus, his art seeks to be not just an observer of the world, but an active participant, creating a deeper emotional and spiritual connection with objects and experiences.
In his Amphora series, presented at the fair, the artist explores the amphora as a still object and the body as a vessel containing it. The forms, decorated with isometric patterns, and the bouquets of flowers they contain, are symbols that hover on the border of humanised mythological elements. The use of isometric perspective in the series creates a particular spatial effect, where all sides of the objects are seen as one, allowing the forms to appear simple yet complex.
