“The
easy-going figures, the funny visual elements and puns are elevated from the
registers of paraphrase, pastiche and parody by post-formalist reflection, that
is, the process of the creation of the image, of the visualisation of the idea,
as Pintér himself takes the painterly process of visual and spatial
construction very seriously.
He
carefully plans his cold, mixed colour harmonies and always takes the
space-forming effect of lines and gestures into consideration as well as the
perception of motifs.
It
seems as though Pintér was roaming the remarkably complex space that lies
between reality and the painted image, the space that is the (abstract) field
of vision, which might as well be called visuality, as it is mostly filled by
visual entities, perceptions, mental images, memories, fantasies and ideas.
Gábor
Pintér essentially reflects on the way our mind functions and examines the way
cognition works, the nature of psychological and mental reality and of course
its relation to real nature and the tangible world.”
