Statement László László Révész, Curator Budapest:
For this show I asked three young artists. There is one common aspect in all the three, which is they share an approach which I call ‚positive escapism‘. Being parallel or separated apart from the current analysis of the local context of Budapest is expressing a gesture of independence by itself alone. While using various pictorial elements of subcultures also they create an inner dialog, which is a narration happening in the inside of the self. I use the words ‚Psycho Pop‘ or ‚inside Pop‘. In their works we are encountering with bad taste, kitsch, comic-strip or visual world of the alternative music, all these beyond good taste, or acceptable gallery art.
