Júlia CSAPÓ,
Eszter KÁLÓCZY,
Emma KLING:
Inner Spaces

26 March – 8 May 2026

Rechnitzer Gallery's next exhibition brings together the works of three young artists in dialogue with each other – alongside Eszter KÁLÓCZY, who has already exhibited at the gallery, the works of Júlia CSAPÓ and Emma KLING will be on display for the first time. In their paintings, pictorial objects, and installations, different interpretations of outside and inside enter into dialogue: internal, subjective spaces enter into constant tension with the external environment, which can be described and understood objectively. The works seek answers to the following questions: what is the relationship between the rational mapping and cognition of the things around us and our personal imprint on them? How do our subjective bodily sensations, individual experiences, and hidden parts of ourselves affect the way we see the world? How can we connect with dimensions beyond the human realm, whether it be our own subconscious, our dreams, or non-human entities? The three artists reflect on these questions in their sensual works, rethinking figurative painting.

Júlia CSAPÓ

Júlia CSAPÓ (1999) was born in Győr, currently lives and works in Budapest. She graduated from the painting department at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2023 and studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon in 2021.

In her work, she explores the intricate network of relationships between the human and non-human worlds through patterns of visual representation. Her primary medium is painting, in which she combines various visual and conceptual sources. In her paintings, geological and biological imagery, digital signs, personal stories, subjective sensations, mythological motifs, and philosophical theories are layered upon one another.

In 2025, she was a fellow of the KAIR residency program in Košice. She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Hungary, and her works are included in the Leopold Bloom Collection.

Eszter KÁLÓCZY

Eszter KÁLÓCZY (b. 1994) lives and works in Budapest. She graduated from the painting program at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2024.

Her work focuses on self-discovery, family dynamics, and human relationships. Her paintings depict timeless emotions such as guilt, jealousy, and social isolation. Her figures are often ageless, and their androgynous features reinforce the universality of these emotions. Their grimaces, postures, and tension with one another reflect the duality of human connection and vulnerability. Kálóczy’s figures always carry a certain dissonance; they seem unable to come to terms with one another, existing instead in symbiosis with their surroundings.

Her works have been featured in numerous exhibitions in Budapest.

Emma KLING

Emma KLING (b. 1996) lives and works in Vienna. She graduated from the University of Applied Arts Vienna with a degree in painting and animation and spent a semester as a visiting student at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.

Emma Kling’s works explore the processes of translation between painting, installation, and text. She interprets her practice as an open space where personal experiences and theoretical considerations intertwine. Her paintings are created on canvas and wood, and also appear in the form of sculptural elements, installations, texts, and publications. These media evolve in interaction with one another throughout the process of research and creation. In this practice, painting appears as a multiply referential medium that is constantly being redefined and through which questions of the body, visibility, and space are reinterpreted.

In 2024, her graduation exhibition won the Vanessa Preger–McGillivray Prize, established by the Angewandte and the City of Vienna, and in 2025, she was nominated for the Esterházy Art Award. Her works have been featured in international exhibitions in Vienna, London, and Budapest, among other cities.
