Julius Fürjes’ Fascinating Dreamscapes at Agora Gallery

Nov. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Hungarian artist Julius Fürjes is a painter who prefers to let his work speak for itself, and the reason is quite apparent. Julius’ compositions are complex dreamscapes where the laws of physics hold little sway. The environs seem to melt into infinity, and sweeping sundrenched plains are populated by pyramids, lonesome trees, mysterious figures, and exotic animals. These paintings seem to peer back at us and draw us in; the spectator becomes the spectacle. Not to be contained by one mode of artistry, Julius branches out into other surrealist venues. Still life paintings are transformed into a medley of floating objects entangled and woven together with roots that are strangely alive and aware. When living animals become headwear, portraiture becomes an absurdist tableau. Julius devotes himself with great concentration to each work, painting a limited number per year. With such careful and patient execution, he produces oil paintings of the highest quality.
Julius Fürjes has exhibited his fascinating works in Hungary and the United States. They are held in many private collections.
