Ars poetica:
The creation of an abstract is an essential and absolutely fundamental appearance of the external and internal world or our basic rational, sentient being. It is a vision of all our experiences and understandings in which rational and emotional considerations influence each other.
An abstract work is as if we are speaking while we are thinking…and also, when we are not speaking but we are thinking.
The abstract is the entirety of the world within us, our personal world. It is what we create for ourselves.
‘…. as a result of long study he reached a way of thinking constructively based on interconnections. His forms and systems of creating an image are clear and unambiguous. His world of colours are decided and essential, he builds up contrasts for his basic colours at the same time as he creates opportunities for sensitive, subtle shades. His technique shows, that he takes notice and understands the linkages in nature which is a great advantage in the chaotic attitudes that exists nowadays.’
/ Ferenc Lantos, Kossuth Prize winning painter, member of the Academy /
"For him, the abstract, constructive and geometric image is the object of ethereal delight, the means of the path to happiness.
An essential derivative of visible reality transformed into colorimetry."
/ by Novotny Tihamer, an art writer /
„I highly recommend Istvan Jarmeczky's catalogue, containing these works of this clearly drawing author crafted with a splendid coloring ability, to an audience susceptible to contemporary arts.”
/ Tamás Konok, Kossuth Prize winning painter, Artist of the National /
