“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes.” ― Arshile Gorky
“Inexpressible” aims to present a selection of new paintings by Polish artist Tomasz Piars. The Budapest-based painter and curator continues his artistic journey with abstraction while exploring new levels of elusive and imaginative expression. Among his latest works, we can see paintings on cardboard with characteristic vivid colors enriched with metallic reflexes. These pieces consistently develop concepts presented in his latest projects dedicated to abstraction (“Black Crystals”, “Liquid Spaces”, “Pointing the Spatial” 2018). Sharp precise objects, dynamic compositions and a bright color palette have become his hallmarks since he abandoned representational art. Piars can be seen as one of the representatives of young Hungarian abstract artists’ wave. Importantly, the term ‘abstract’ made a career in post-war Europe as it was even used synonymously with the term ‘modern art’. This indicates how clearly it stood for innovation and progress at that time.

Abstraction, almost excluded
from the postmodern art debates, is still present worldwide and expands
successfully. Numerous Hungarian abstraction exhibition projects serve as an
opportunity to analyze current artistic developments in abstract art that point
to a renewed implementation of the term and prove unflagging interest in this
visual language. Piars, in his artistic laboratory, applies a wide variety of
forms, testing a new artistic situation on each single painting. The artist
focuses on the process of discovering new forms, rather than the depiction of
familiar objects, by selecting and putting together these abstract forms on
canvas. Quoting the abstract painter Nicholas Wilton: “Abstraction, like
poetry, does not dictate a clear narrative but rather, quietly offers a
fragment, a piece of a mysteriously familiar narrative”. Therefore every piece
provokes a question if it is just an aesthetic joy of playing with abstraction
or a complex depiction of a unique organized system, which can be unveiled only
in non-figurative image.
