TIVADAR BOTE
Tivadar Bote’s large-scale acrylic paintings are like excavations. Canvases are layered with washes of translucent paint and finished with bold brushstrokes and deep pools of colour. The work is both lyrical and dramatic and expresses the artist’s joy of painting.
“Although I strive for a strong intuitive approach in my process, I hope to achieve a strong meditative quality in the finished pieces. I am fully challenged with this development of "unearthing" a reality which lies beneath the superficial appearance of things. As I have worked through this evolving process, the pieces have evoked "impressions" of both specific landscapes and abstractions of a given place and mood. The paintings are as much about the process of abstracting forms and the action of painting as well as achieving a personal, meditative aesthetic.”
