PAUL KIRALY – sculptor
18 February – 8 March 1972

"It may seem that our century far surpasses its predecessors in the production of visual art – quantitatively; the supply of images is enormous.
In today’s art life, it is an almost hopeless task to evoke any response from the saturated public; visual art has in many cases become a Mesopotamian language for the uninitiated.
But to draw from this the conclusion that the representational image is the only true art form, accessible and comprehensible to all, may be a crude sort of mistake.

In the situation where a strong equivalence for all forms of art prevails, there are forces which see their opportunities, mastering opinion via mass media, often ensuring that a certain political message comes through carefully constructed channels. The direction is not hard to discern; the ordinary observer can and should not seldom receive a stimulus for thought.

Problematic:

Form:
– What is the prerequisite for the mammal’s swelling form?
– Can something similar to the mammal’s form be achieved through plasma, i.e., solid matter + liquid?
– Does color play any role in this context?

Light:
– Can primary light affect the mammal emotionally?
– Is light of a physical nature?"
