Gyula Sági
Kurzbiografie
“Energy, repetition, order, and disorder are the main principles of the Universe. So I chose them to be the basis of my working methods. My works are sensitive gesture “paintings” and, due to their repetitive technique, meditative tools for me.”
Gyula Sági ist ein junger ungarischer Künstler, der Bildende Kunst studierte und 2010 an der Universität Westungarn seinen Abschluss machte. Er lebt und arbeitet seit 2014 in Berlin und nimmt an Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen in Ungarn und im Ausland teil.
Sági schafft seine großformatigen Papierarbeiten mit Tinte, Bleistift und Kugelschreiber und kombiniert traditionelle grafische und malerische Techniken. Seine Serien, die geometrische Abstraktion und Gestenmalerei vereinen, sind Experimente mit Formen. Er konzentriert sich auf die reine Formation der Dinge und lässt sich von der Technologie, der digitalen Bildgebung und den sich wiederholenden Struktursystemen der Natur inspirieren.
In seinen Arbeiten Anfang der 2010er Jahre versuchte Sági, visuelle Sprachen geometrischer und organischer Abstraktion zu synthetisieren. In der 2016 begonnenen Serie „Analog Noise and Parallel Line“ interessiert sich der Künstler für die Darstellung der Zeit und für die Muster, die durch „Misserfolge“ im Prozess der Zeichenwiederholung entstehen. Aus dem gleichen Jahr werden in der Serie „Geometrische Strukturen“ wiederkehrende Linien und geometrische Strukturen durch farbige abstrakte Muster unterbrochen.
“Conceptuality is just as much as important to me as the aesthetic result: what interests me is the physical dimension of time and the visual representation of the change of time based on a given algorithm. My working method starts with an analysis, formulation of a problem which is then going to be dissected, taken into pieces. After this procedure by using the visuality of my previous works I synthesise the sections. I consider this construction as if I would solve a mathematical equation, the number of unknowns increases with this game and the complexity of equations becomes gradually settled in my works.”

Short biography
“Energy, repetition, order, and disorder are the main principles of the Universe. So I chose them to be the basis of my working methods. My works are sensitive gesture “paintings” and, due to their repetitive technique, meditative tools for me.”
Gyula Sági is a young Hungarian artist who studied visual arts and graduated at the University of Western Hungary in 2010. He lives and works in Berlin since 2014 and takes part in solo and group shows both in Hungary and abroad.
Sági creates his large-scale paper works with ink, pencil and ball-pen and combines traditional graphical and painting techniques. His series, unifying geometric abstraction and gesture painting, are experiments with forms. He concentrates on the pure formations of things, finding inspiration in the technology, digital imaging and repetitive structural systems created by nature.
In his works in the early 2010s, Sági sought to synthetize visual languages of geometric and organic abstraction. In the series entitled Analog Noise and Parallel Line and began in 2016, the artist is interested in the imaging of the time and in the patterns produced by “failures” in the process of signs’ repetition. From the same year in the series of Geometric Structures recurring lines and geometric structures are interrupted by colored abstract patterns.
