Barna Gacsi is a sculptor who sees himself as a mediator of creation, between the material, the theme and a higher force.
AN ARTISTIC PRACTICE DRIVEN BY A SPIRITUAL FORCE
Barna Gacsi usually works without the end result in mind. In his view, sculptures, like ideas, are not created following a plan or a project. The artist relies on that higher power, that force from which we all come.
The artist explains: "In fact, it is the subject, the theme, that finds me; I am not the creator, I am only the mediator. I'm not the creator, I'm just the mediator. [...] In this sense, we are materials, even if I think of myself as energy, we are vibrations capable of accepting. If an artist is able to give in to this power, a statue can be born."
WORKING WITH MATERIALS AT THE HEART OF HIS CREATIONS
Barna Gacsi uses raw materials in his creations. He lets his creative spirit draw human and animal silhouettes out of these mediums, with elongated shapes or marked modelling.
His sculptures, with their human forms, evoke our thoughts, our inner psyches and a state of mind suggested by the postures they assume.
