L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Balogh\u2019<\/span>s career as a visual artist began in the \u201960s in his hometown, Szentendre. The foundations of his artistic vision were shaped primarily by the influence of Jen\u0151 Barcsay, who was his paternal friend, as well as such Szentendre-based artists as Antal Deli, Lajos Vajda, and J\u00e1nos Kmetty. His travels further broadened his horizons as well. In spite of his sensitive, poetic disposition, Balogh\u2019s works consist of disciplined, sternly built constructs. The pervasive spirituality of the Trecento – one of the examples he takes from art history \u2013 is, to him, just as important as the subversive theory of French cubism, Giorgio Morandi\u2019s solitary magic realism or Henry Moore\u2019s modern, sculptural reticence. His outlook was moulded not only by his predecessors, but also by contemporary daily discourse \u2013 primarily with P\u00e1l Deim. During his early period in the \u201960s, he, in effect, mapped out the town in which he still lives today (Houses on the Waterfront, Rab R\u00e1by House, Towers, etc.). By the \u201870s and \u201980s, Balogh\u2019s stable visual abstraction had become reduced to a coordinated use of geometric and organic motifs; he sought eternity even in the mundane (Figures, Firewalls, Architecture). While, in his present-day constructive \u2013 but also strongly emotional and spontaneous \u2013 artistic approach, he still allows room for earlier archaic and \u201clyrical\u201d (even folk art-inspired) forms, his paintings are now without any recognisable elements of reality. His compositions are grounded in clear visual logic, a dynamic-static relationship between components, as well the intense power of colours with all their contrasts and harmonies. Of the numerous milestones marking his oeuvre, it was perhaps his exhibitions held in Germany that revealed how Balogh and his brand of restoring order were equally at home on the international scene as well. The articles that were published in Germany in 1995 highlighted his unique and sensuous constructive approach, which could, indeed, have never come to be without Szentendre and Jen\u0151 Barcsay, but is, nevertheless, European.<\/p>\n

L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Balogh\u2019s works presented in the IKON Exhibition Space plot the course of the artist\u2019s oeuvre. A significant portion of his emblematic, epoch-marking paintings on display are taken from the collection of the Ferenczy Museum, while the fresh works that are presented come from the artist\u2019s studio. As Lajos N\u00e9meth (1929 \u2013 1991) \u2013 art historian, renowned teacher, professor, and museum curator \u2013 put it at an exhibition opening: \u201cL\u00e1szl\u00f3 Balogh is a Szentendre painter not only because he was born there, but also because he embodies the spirit of the town. (\u2026) As demonstrated by his compositional intention and visual logic, he communicates through this visual language, which has become very much his own, in an increasingly sovereign manner. He has talent for synthesising constructivity and decorativity. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Balogh is more than a mere master of painting; he seeks to propagate the values of genius loci. This was what Barcsay\u2019s legacy and the spirit of Szentendre taught him. He has taken on a formidable tradition and he is a worthy carrier of its torch.\u201d (Quoted in: Balogh L\u00e1szl\u00f3 retrospekt\u00edv ki\u00e1ll\u00edt\u00e1sa<\/em> [L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Balogh\u2019s Retrospective Exhibition].
