TACHISME
TACHISME
artist Attila Janos Konnyu
curator Laszlo Erdesz
The artist creates under the influence of a power over a person in a state of "nothing else".
In primitive man, the fear of the unknown forces of nature and its ability to be defeated were embodied by the shamans, who represented the totality of healing, religion, and art in their ceremonies. Shamans probably became the ancient people who devoted more time to getting to know nature, were more open to observing their environment and their companions, and realized how this knowledge gives them power over others.
Shamans and priests realized that man is more than a complex living being, something more than the physical reality, and they called this the soul. Because they realized that the body is a perceptible material property, reality, but what is beyond that is the abstract world beyond the senses - that is also reality. Body and soul exist together, together they form a perceptible unity. Man acts consciously. His body and actions are coordinated by his consciousness.
Konnyu lives and creates in Palm Beach. Anyone who has traveled to Florida has experienced that special experience defined by warmth and light, which is a source of joy in every moment of everyday life. Konnyu lives and creates in this environment. If we look carefully at his works, we enter the "space" of the image (which is not difficult, because the dimensions absorb us), then surrendering ourselves to a receptive state, we can feel his creative energies. He paints the projected moments of his inner world, the lived, the dreamed. According to him, a new painting is always born when it receives an internal stimulus.
By painting, splattering, erasing, and flowing the paint on the canvas spread on the ground, he projects all his energy into his subconscious, one by one. When an artist creates (then he can't do anything else), because the work he is creating is basically controlled and created by the forces emerging from his subconscious.
"Art puts outside what is inside: it displays the inner world, memories preserved in the collective subconscious - shared with humanity. In this way, not only the creator, but also the viewer and the listener can get close to their own collective subconscious, which essentially cannot be separated from personally lived experiences. The cathartic effect of this can release the energies tied up in the complexes, which increases activity, as well as the space and clarity of consciousness. In the background of the creative process, there are also unconscious tendencies that, in the degree of integration with consciousness, serve the fulfillment of the personality and the growth of consciousness."
The subconscious world is also manifested in Konnyu's paintings. Our knowledge reached in the 20th century until the realization that our actions and our lives are influenced not only by our consciousness but also by our subconscious. So we have feelings, thoughts, and even actions that we owe to our subconscious. Psychologists realized that not only is there a subconscious, but there is also a deeper layer that they called the collective consciousness (subconscious or unconscious) of humanity. The unconscious can be understood as an inner intuition before consciousness. (for intuition) According to science, this collective consciousness is the repository of all the experiences and knowledge ever learned and acquired, and one of its forms of existence is the art. Art is therefore the highest form of expression of human emotions. Looking at Konnyu's paintings, a cathartic experience can slowly unfold in us, which is a great opportunity for art lovers to get to know a new world.
