András Mengyán

Hungarian painter.

His conceptual, geometrical and serial works are basedf on mathematical and geometrical structutres. From the middle of the 1960s he was working on his picture and graphics series entitled The logic of forms. He created forms named as "determined movable forms". These are elements of special dinamics and movings. By the 1970s he had finished the M form structure (consisting of coloured artistic-visual elements), the purpose of which is to make logical and esthetical combinations or spacial movings offered by the endless ways colours and forms can be used.

His paintings consist of straight lines and curves, the combinations of which bring about different permutational lines. In the 1980'ies he made computer works and environments in which the phases of space and the spacial movements are brought about by the light, sound, film, mirror and strings (as a line or contour).

His series entitled visual programs gives place for the games of spacial movments and poetic rythms based upon oppositions (black-white, red-green, light-matte, light-shadow, picture-film, etc.). In the dark space 6 meter-high cartoon or mirror cones are streching up high. These turn the space into crystalic form, on which we can see projected the moving pictures of a film made anout a skyscraper in New York.

His paintings made in the 1990s are the transponations of three dimensions into two. However, he still creates layers on his pictures - the time framgments of various spaces. His ultraviolet colours break out of mostly black background..
