The company (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The creation of The company took two years. I created plans and sketches and I also studied the fascinating work of painter Mihály Munkácsy (1844-1900) who inspired me in the aspect of lights and composition.

The phenomenon alcoholism is strongly present in our society. This topic was on my mind when I created The company. The finest expression for alcoholism is called partying and the roughest term is addiction.
My aim was to create a painting-like artwork of an impressive size (2 meter x 3 meter big).
The choosen exhibition areas were also important in carrying the message: the enormous picture was exhibited in a plain white exhibition hall (Ateliers Pro Arts) and than in a pub (Kiado bar).
