Réka Bene-Szabó

Réka Szabó was touched by the breeze of conceptualism. In her works she is always trying to show a conception, she is never satisfied with just the spectacle. What we are seeing should not only be beautiful, but should also be significant. The boundaries between letters and image are blurred; the meaning is made from the image composed of letters and from the letters subordinated to the image. She makes graphics, manipulated photography, multi-level images, where the depth is given not only by the laws of perspective but also by the superimposition of the use of pseudo shadows. The text acts like a living body, there are times when the letters are acting straightly and disciplined and there are other times when they stumble into each other, they rush into each other forming an incomprehensible condensed mass, or what can be even scarier they fall into nothingness. Her art is mostly characterized by experimenting and by stretching the boundaries in order to find new meanings. Her work does not fall into a particular category, with the strict advertising graphic design her compositions transpose into the art sphere. She is seeking to eliminate the unnecessary information and in her visual investigations she maneuvers bare shapes.
