FLOW Series
Looking at Csaba Szegedi's Flow painting series removes us out of space and time ... Each and every picture is a fragment torn, a segment from the fabric of continuity. We feel as if looking at a piece of a film reel itself composed of film strips. Fragments of memory and time come together to form an endless story where each picture is a snapshot in the flow of time. Horizontal visual elements like the brush strokes further divide the canvas and break up the flow of time into new beats. The compositions are rhythmic, melodic, and evoke musical associations...

In all circumstances, Csaba Szegedi insists on preserving the sensual, lively character of the observed and examined things, so that his works can breathe and live independently, be brave and liberated. It is precisely the double mill between the preserved memory of the concrete visual experience and the abstract motifs now becoming just color fields forcing the viewer's attitude to change constantly, that provides the constant source for refreshment. …
...in his current pictures, he has finaly achieved a state where consciousness and instinct work hand-in-hand, hard to separate now. After done playing with tectonic shapes organized around a central motif shambling groggily of floating aimlessly, he now arranges his works in dynamically undulating waves. He arranges, or rather lets the color stripes flow together and along one another in rhythmic articulation. This flow unwilling to pause remains defining titular feature of the works...
