Miklos Legrady Exhibit Comes to Maxx Quinten Art Gallery in Toronto

Toronto, Canada, January 04, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Canadian painting artist and photographer Miklos
Legrady opens an exhibit of his work at Maxx Quinten Art Gallery in Toronto, January 1 - July 29, 2017.
Paintings on virtual display and for sale include five highly original, provocative and influential exhibits
of work on canvas.
The "Art Theory for Social Media" series showcases a number of new pieces originally painted on flat
sheets of cardboard. These works display an uncanny attention to detail, transforming mundane surfaces
of consumer packaging into fascinating pieces of art. This series documents the highest and most
sophisticated levels of the cultural consciousness which is our common heritage, and second, the
symbols, icons, and signs used in making art are experiments in different ways of speaking, seeing, and
thinking about the totality of being.
The "Martini Glass" series explores how small changes in objects and shading can affect how you feel,
relying in this case on bubbles and their airiness. The conceptual premise is the importance of the
individual's experience of beauty in the path of the light. That perception is the basis of architecture.
The circle square, and triangle expanded become a sphere, cube and pyramid. All shapes can be created
using a combination of these three. In the "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Geometrica" art series, these
basic shapes are a subject on their own. Here we see visual language as created by shape, colour and light.
They say painting is never done; once the entire canvas is covered with pigment so that it is all black, a
touch of white starts the painting process all over again. In the "Work in Progress" art series, Legrady
played with the idea of continuity, assuming that at some point a painting is actually a complete
statement, yet one always open to revision.
The "Unique Flavour Sweet Taste" art series paintings are an exploration of the process of creativity, seen
as an unconscious and transcendent function; the creative unconscious. There is evidence of agencies
other than the intellectual thought and conscious will that control our lives. We're not masters of our own
domain, though the illusion persists since consciousness is a compound of unconscious processes, the one
we're mostly aware of.
"Only the extraordinary is really art. We know that an artist is one who listens to the silent voice within,
otherwise it's just highly skilled illustration. Inner vision, inspiration, creative spirit, these are the spiritual
aspect of art," said Miklos Legrady. "These paintings were made to explore that voice. First comes the
background of many colours. Then I start with a circular shape, and my intuition takes me on each step,
till an inner voice says stop. I assume that the presence of that creative spirit is what all great works share
in common, what creates extraordinary work."
"Maxx Quinten Art Gallery's mandate is to bring to the public Canadian artists currently unknown who
are seen to produce international quality work and whose valuation we expect to rise exponentially to
make our investment worthwhile," said Maxx Quinten, Art Director. "We also profit by sharing our call
