Ana Maria Szöllösi

Tight, 2023

linocut
10.5 x 15 cm
(35.5 x 41.3 x 2.5 cm framed)
edition: 1/2

In Ana Maria Szöllösi’s practice, linocuts often act as a substitute for preparatory sketches. Before rendering her ideas onto canvas, she makes such smaller works that depict an empty space, both transitional and nostalgic.

Tight evokes a claustrophobic space through a skilful handling of composition and color. The formal simplicity of the work results from the artist’s meticulous constraint and distillation of choice.

Accelerator project is financed with the support of EEA Grants 2014-2021 within the RO-CULTURE Programme and is implemented by Asociația Culturală Eastwards Prospectus.

The EEA Grants represent the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway towards the reduction of economic and social disparities in Europe and towards strengthening the bilateral relations between the donor countries and the 15 EU countries in Central and Southern Europe and the Baltics. The three donor countries cooperate closely with the EU through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). The donors have provided €3.3 billion through consecutive grant schemes between 1994 and 2014. For the period 2014-2021, the EEA Grants amount to €1.55 billion.
