Beautiful Is Beautiful Exhibition
"What’s beautiful is beautiful. Because the ordinary can be like a painting, the everyday like poetry, reality like a fairytale.

The things that, in normal life, tend to get mislaid, roll away and go missing, live a fleeting existence. They are transient yet familiar, though we rarely give them a second thought at special moments (except, perhaps, for birthday candles). If they are not there, however, we soon notice.

Where’s the craft knife? The sunflower seeds are all gone! But even in their absence, do we truly perceive such objects.

Judit Fischer looks out for them on behalf of all of us: she keeps her eye open for tiny little objects, and diligently paints portraits of them. Again and again, for more than ten years now, with downright impudence.

If we added it all up, we would be faced with a quite peculiar world, in which every little throwaway item takes on new meaning. A topsy-turvy world, a bright kaleidoscope of colours, all shook up.

Like a comfy, hand-knitted pullover, that we know literally inside-out: the hidden stitches, the knots and loops, the seams and the cross-threads. These are what hold the pullover together and keep us warm on chilly days.

Dice, bubblegum balls, cheese triangles and twiglets, table football figures, slime balls, birthday candles and biscuits, marbles, paper clips, lollipops and bear-shaped bath sponges, compact mirrors, plastic pattern blocks, sunflower seeds and craft knives.

Lego bricks, toilet roll tubes, multicoloured pompoms and rubber bands, sponge fingers, paint blocks, paper bags, sausages, dog food and earbuds. Virtually anything."
