At the Dubniczay Palace the exhibition Frozen Cloud and Desert Dust focuses on the discrepancies between perception, interpretation, and representation, based on the dialogue between the works of Kinga Enzsöly and Hajnalka Tulisz.
In the intermediate spaces opened by the artworks, the tension between the revealed and the concealed, the encounter, permeability, and blurring of abstraction and reality emerge — on the boundary between the natural and the artificial, through the collision of the organic and the geometric. The works installed in the Baroque exhibition spaces, painted with various motifs, touch upon natural phenomena at certain points, while elsewhere, through gestures of concealing, covering, and revealing, they shed light on underlying processes.
Contradiction is an essential thematic element of the exhibition, as reflected in its title: the image of a frozen cloud simultaneously evokes the sharp, fragmented mass of tiny water droplets and ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, and, through the form of the cloud, the floating softness, delicacy, and ever-changing shape. The dry, gritty desert dust — tiny mineral particles carried by the wind for thousands of kilometers across continents and oceans — is omnipresent.
Kinga Enzsöly is currently a doctoral student at the Doctoral School of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. She graduated in painting from the same university in 2005 and studied at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Le Mans in 2004. In 2007, she participated in the Freising residency program with a scholarship from the Schafhof Europäisches Künstlerhaus Oberbayern. She has been an invited artist at the Győr International Art Colony several times and was a mentee in the Budapest Art Mentor program in 2020. Her works have been exhibited in numerous galleries and are part of various collections.
Hajnalka Tulisz was born in Zirc and graduated from the Intermedia Department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. She later completed her postgraduate studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in France. She regularly participates in international artist residency programs — most recently in autumn 2024, as a guest of the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna with an Erste Stiftung scholarship. She took part in the 2017 Off Biennale and has exhibited in several group and duo exhibitions. She is currently working on her doctoral dissertation.
