In the Ana Cristea gallery, the work of a young Hungarian artist who goes by the name of Zsolt Bodoni was presented in his exhibition called, The Foundries of ideology. Looking through the exhibition and the paintings done by Bodoni, I noticed that his brush strokes had this type of washed out texture in throughout his paintings almost like a dream sequence. Most of Bodoni you could say comes from his life experiences in his country and his emotions I guess to what he was feeling at the time. When I read the artist statement and his biography I learned that some of Bodni's old works were an ironic symbolism of imperialism.Bodoni portrays the notion of politics and an image of what his country was like. For example this image shown here is one of Bodni paintings and it is called, "Black Guard", (2009 oil and acrylic on canvas. 134 x 75 inches). The picture depicts a dark atmospheric and dramatic scenery that suggest that it most have been a rough or struggling time for Bondi and his people in his country Hungary.
