Bartos Saro (Hungary)
SYNKOPA
Syncopation, in music, is a type of metro-rhythmic disturbance in the flow of a piece, used as a stylistic device; a rhythmic phenomenon involving the extension of a rhythmic value. Bartos Saro uses a technique drawn from the world of music to create synesthetic landscapes. The plasticity of his work is enhanced by his painting technique. The texture of the painting is vivid and highly sensual, created by covering the painting ground with sand. The accents in the painting are made using metallic pigments.
His work focuses on the structure of materials, preferring to work in a variety of media. Clearly displaying weight and movement, Bartos loves to create tension and drama, as he believes there is spirit in matter - shapes and forms can reflect the underlying experience of emotion.
Thick layers of raw, often cracked texture are enhanced and given unique beauty through additional drawing and lightly applied colors. One of his preferred materials is sand mixed with an acrylic binder.

Expressively presenting the weight and movement, Bartos loves to create tension and drama, because he believes that there is a spirit in matter - shapes and forms can reflect basic experiences attached to emotions.Thick layers of raw, often cracked texture are enhanced and gaining a unique beauty owing it to the additional drawing and slightly applied colors. Sand or broken marble mixed with an acrylic binder is one of his preferred materials. Bartos' sense of matter is full of concern for the facture.
The artist has reduced his alphabet of symbols to several forms that are able to convey a variety of tensions and emotions. His work is by definition basic rarely showing sophistication, but the more it is, the more it conveys his artistic vision.
