MÁTYÁS ERMÉNYI: PINE-NEEDLE TALES

Primarily inspired by the aesthetics of Eastern European animated films, Mátyás Erményi’s most recent series can be technically characterised as a subtle oscillation between drawing and painting. His latest group of works portrays anthropomorphic, coniferous pine trees as the protagonists. There is also a subjective thread connected to Erményi’s trees in this series, which connects back to the generation of the artist’s great-grandparents who once planted these pine trees in the yard of their multi-generational family home.
