Eszter Gyory - Hungary/USA

A typical Gyory painting is full of mirage and illusion, yet maintains a sense of materiality. As we search for our place in these unsettling worlds, we gain an awareness of bewildering and insidious dangers. We confront the old dilemma of Eros vs. Thanatos.

Gyory exorcises her demons through the creative act of painting, but offers us no simple solaces with respect to the reconciliation of man's voice within the world of unreasoning silence, the 20th century malaise grappled by Albert Camus.

Gyory works from her studio in Miami's Art and Design District on 40th Street, the famed "Decorator's Row". A selected list of her works in public places include the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; Bass Museum - Miami Beach; Aldrich Museum - Ridgefield, Connecticut; Art Museum Vassar College - Poughkeepsie, New York; The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; King Stephan Museum - Szelesfehervar, Hungary; Museum of Fine Arts - Budapest, Hungary; Seo Hwa State Gallery - Seoul, Korea.
