Artist
Part of events on ArtRabbit in: London
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, their personalities transcend the confines of the canvas. A formally trained artist and amateur musician, Nemes sees music - literally. As a synesthet, he has the gift of seeing music as colour. He is a man of broad interests whose exploration of light and colour is influenced by his extensive studies of art, traditional stained-glass techniques, music, and ancient cultures. Nemes’ innovative compositions, rendered in mixed media in a style somewhere between pointillism and stained-glass, bring us face to face with each Maestro – from Béla Bartók to Amy Winehouse - with uncanny immediacy that feels like access to their inner sanctum. The essence of music permeates Nemes’ art. Under the watchful gaze of music’s greats, Nemes’ triptychs and lyrical works explore the translucency of light and the synergy with music, capturing the interplay of colour across several dimensions like a musical score which brings together multiple layers of instruments, melodies, rhythms and harmonies. From portraiture to lyrical pieces, Nemes’ works emote music interspersed with frequently recurring ancient symbols of life and wisdom –the sun, the moon, water, trees. Each work has a story. Born in 1981, Gábor Winkler-Nemes lives and works in Hungary.
