CV

Gbor Kin Date of birth: 27. 01. 1974. Place of birth: Kazincbarcika, Hungary

In 1997, motivated from self-dilligence, I have turned back to the world of childhood dreams. maybe because, I wanted to become carefree by spreading my troubles, my pleasures away on a canvas. soon I dazed into the scent of the linseed oil, into the night owl-fantasies, with roundabout eyes, paintbrush in my hands. maybe that is why my paintings are ballancing on the boarder of imagination and reality, mixing/stirring several painters conception. I find it important to be faithful, to be multicoloured and regenerate from painting to painting, if you like it, to have some kind of lack of style, that is the biggest freedom, according to Picasso as well. my teachers were books, and those greate figures/persons, whose imprints I visited in many galleries abroad too. while I originate from Kazincbarcika, Hungary, I also associate with the local artists there. I am especially greatful to Istvn Mezey graphic artist and painter, who has arranged my first exhibition in 2003 December, in the Small Gallery there. our refreshing conversations about painting were a great help for me. just like my favourite, inspirational musics, that proove that there is no difference between song and painting only the toolbar of the expression changes. /Gbor Kin/

Do we ever get to know? our tiny planetarian-being is worn away in a spiral, being charged with ancient-energies since old times, stars glued to the ceiling are falling as burnt-out supernovas to grey heads, somewhere a ballon is blown: our world is expanding, with a questionmark on our T-shirts we shout to the sky, that where is God, do we ever get to know? I dont really have a clue. /Gbor Kin/
