RE-FLECTIONS, DISTANT MEMORIES PRESENT

“Last year in August 2021, I couldn’t exhibit my work RE-FLECTIONS, due to the Covid lockdown. I made a statement then: “ We live in a strange world that has turned our way of life upside down”. Since then even more sadly, absurd and surreal events have perpetuated worldwide. I complemented a few more works to actualize the status quo of my show. The essence and the topic of my exhibition however are the same.

I am talking about the distant memories, not just those, which are piled up onto the crust of our personal psyche, but are also reminiscent in the sediment of our human history. We are elements of the chain that is forming us. In this exhibition I combine works, that can be sawn into a multifaceted narrative, always under the guidance of: “I know that I don’t know”

Peter Panyoczki is an internationally renowned artist working in a hybrid of forms and mediums including painting, sculpture, installation, photography and digital technology.

Panyoczki’s works explore themes of place & identity, as well as the origins and expression of life and nature. A common feature in Panyoczki’s works is the presence of texture, be it actual surface texture or the representation thereof in photographic media.

The textured surfaces are evocative, forming notions of one’s past and inner self, or that which has been buried and forgotten.

Panyoczki has an extensive international exhibition his-tory with representation in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe, Asia, USA and New Zealand.
