Nudes 2007 by Zsolt Bodoni is currently on show at Art Factory II Gallery until July 24.Zsolt Bodoni is known for his large, expressive figurative works. In this series he has combined Playboy bodies with laughing faces from commercial advertisements. The oil-on-canvas paintings are made with a thinned-down light palette creating the effect of watercolour on paper.
Bodoni says he painted the series as a break from the dark, depressing work he had done on the year-long project called The Big Picture (currently on view at the Art Factory Studio in District XIII). The female nude is prevalent in Bodoni’s work from the past ten years. Bodoni says the nude female conveys a more meaningful message and more clearly reveals the raw emotional state.
A renowned Italian art critic called the series “extraordinary” and deemed one a “masterpiece”. An art critic from the UK called them “self-indulgent exploitation of the female form”. See the works and decide for yourself at the Art Factory II Gallery, District V, Markó u. 4, near the corner of Falk Miksa.
Open Monday-Friday 11a.m.-6p.m. Saturday 11a.m.-2 p.m. For more information telephone +361-302-5172."
