About
Gábor Winkler-Nemes’ portraits capture the essence of genius musicians such as Menuhin, Rostrapovich, Karajan, Richter, Gould, Oistrakh. Their power is palpable even if you are not close to classical music.
A formally trained artist and amateur musician, Nemes sees music - literally. As a synesthet, he has the gift of seeing music as colour. His exploration of light and colour is influenced by his extensive studies of art, traditional stained-glass techniques, music, and ancient cultures.
Brilliantly innovative, he gives us multi-dimensional stories, from portraits to lyrical pieces interspersed with ancient symbols of life and wisdom.
Working in mixed media in a style somewhere between pointillism and stained-glass, Nemes captures the interplay of light and colour across several dimensions like a musical score brings together multiple layers of instruments, melodies, rhythms and harmonies.
On show are works in mixed media and limited edition giclee prints.
Gábor Winkler-Nemes (b. 1981, Hungary) lives and works in Hungary.
