Unerasable Communism

Series

An art exhibition of Károly Kelemen, painter.

In conformity with his artistic interpretation of secondarily produced reality, in his newest series about the socialist realistic period of Hungary Kelemen has used propaganda photos, printed material and applied a special technique. The idyllic and heroic representations of the Soviet epoch in Hungary are Communist kitsch, says Kelemen. He has created his works by eraser and the pictures are destroyed by eraser as well. The pictures, the ideas shown on them are the unerasable negative traces of the epoch itself. By painting and erasing them Kelemen wished to share the aesthetic experience of getting rid of these traces with the public.
