GÁBOR WINKLER-NEMES The Essence of Music

Katrine Levin Galleries / March 7 - February 19, 2022 / London, United Kingdom

www.katrinelevin.com

Music and fine art have often been intimate companions and never more so than in this powerful exhibition of works by Gábor Winkler-Nemes. A synesthet (he sees music in colour), Winkler-Nemes captures the essence of legendary 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’ exploration of light and colour is influenced by his extensive studies of art, traditional stained-glass techniques, music, and ancient cultures. His brilliantly innovative compositions, rendered in mixed media in a style somewhere between pointillism and stained-glass, bring us face to face with that elusive quality – genius.

The exhibition includes works in mixed media, and limited edition giclee prints.
