Chromatic Studies

Chromatic Studies

21 November – 15 December 2024

Lui Nemeth’s work deeply rooted in the fundamental process of creation itself. There is a deliberate rejection of physical form and object in her
work, seeking what is deeply internal and nearly inexpressible, evading clear representation. Nemeth’s generative approach in relation to artistic
form is centred on a sense of intuition and rhythmic improvisation, allowing each colour and brush stroke to emerge in their essential beings
through formal interplay, unified in compositional harmony through stitches of charcoal and pastel.
 
This current exhibition “Chromatic Studies” continues and builds upon ideas previously explored, capturing an emotional landscape across
different mediums and surfaces. For Nemeth, painting is a way to investigate existence as an emotional reality; similar to music, colour
communicates intuitively, without the need for viewers to search for any form of specific meaning. She relates to the music-making process,
finding resonance in spontaneous layering, harmonised through movement, which emulates the complexity of life. Each colour possesses its
own emotion, and together they create a rich, multi-layered expression that embodies the beauty of existence, in its simplest form.
 
Central to Nemeth’s work is the continuous study of energy, whether through sensitive duality in the perception of sound and colour, essential
distillation of being into textural movement, or even memorial qualities, which steadily inform the the various shapes of her art. Throughout her
work, there is a consistent focus on the artistic act itself – on the generative process of expression, where spontaneity and continuous change
are fundamentally valued. Finding purpose in the general unfolding of the creative process, Nemeth’s work proposes itself as a continuous
inquiry rather than a finished statement, maintaining itself in a state of perpetual motion through the movement which animates it.
