Márta Kucsora's canvasses are created with liquid paint, air gun and high gloss lacquers. Additionally, she applies synthetic components in some of her works like recycled clingfilm, fabric, thread and solid acrylic. Her works explore the flow and resistance of paint over a surface due to stress from an external force created from a process of wiping, splatting, pushing, tilting, spinkling, moving, tearing or simply by some form of displacement. Kucsora's works are thus the result of a process of exploration and experimentation to create bold compositions with varying techniques to defy the convention and expected flow of the employed media.
Her works are full of dynamism and vitality, celebrations of the freedom of movement, the actions of the artist and that of the fluids on the surface of the canvas symbolic of passion and freedom.
The often explosive, volcanic and unpredictable nature of Kucsora's work creates visually intriguing and dynamic compositions, somet.mes s reminiscent of stylised branches, flowers, leaves, tree bark, waves or the disintegrating crust of the earth, at other t.mes s, purely abstract patterns. There are elements of the dynamism and chance encounter of abstract expressionist automatic creation of Jackson Pollock, however her works are a result of a different, idiosyncratic approach and unique style.
‘Resonating across t.mes with Pollock’s action, Frankenthaler’s fluidity, 1980’s Richter’s abstract spatiality, and contemporary gestural abstraction’s referentiality, Kucsora’s update of brushless action paintings invariably reflects the performative process of their making. With a Polke-like penchant for experimentation, Kucsora expands her materialist repertoire of painterly media in her chemical ‘kitchen’. And then she deploys her concoctions on a fearless scale. Her vision-filling paintings are at once spatially deep and canvas-flat, and they vibrate with the energy of embodied paradox: of control alongside chance operation, of rhythm and order amidst chaos. They offer the techno-feel of otherworldly–some would say interstellar–presence on a scale that entices viewers to project themselves into their pictorial fields with alluring abandon.’
