STATEMENT
„I believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so
contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a sort of surreality, if one may so speak."(André
Breton)
My works depict the dynamism of remembrance and continuously re-interpret everyday situations. I
emphasize the incidence, which composes seemingly distant elements into one given frame of space
and time. Representing the reminiscent ego, the images become dreamlike and personal. The
dynamic memory selects freely, composing a new, fictional narrative world, like in Surrealism.
Beyond free association by photomontage and collage, my recurrent sources of inspiration are motifs
and materials. Works that come into being this way reflect Central European situations in a
studiously personal and ironic manner.
These works start from the images of news coming from my actual surroundings. Then I paint the
protagonists of photos I collected onto this layer to rewrite the real news into fictional narrative
situations by the collage technique. Dynamic memory, confronting and composing real/unreal,
experience/non-experience, has a significant role in creating these works. During this process I
reflect on the press also, by creating my own liberty of press in these works. Parallel and reverse
time horizons meet in a visual way, within the transparent layers of the photo film just like in the
ancient palimpsestus. By fusing these layers, collage works become fictional images, summaries of
our social existence.

FICTION OF REALITY - THE COLLAGES OF JULIA VEGH
Three works, each smaller than A4 size. An application for an art award
could hardly be more restrained. In fact, the three paintings come from
the same series and could have been proposed as one work, leaving room
for two further series or compositions to be handed in at the application,
and to be shown at the Nominees Exhibition, within the limit of three
works per artist. This core strategy of highlighting a single series, of
miniature size, came to work well, earning a prize for Júlia Végh. She had
followed the same concept of focusing on select painterly devices already
in building up the paintings. First, by concentrating on a well-defined set
of social and political events from the public arena of the post-Soviet
region, content-wise she had developed a clear issue. Second, as explained
in her statement, although the technique of interpreting these news cut-
outs is way more complex, yet it promotes again a well-thought-out
conclusion on the inseparable borderline situation of imaginary and real
scenes. All in one, a single series, small sizes, a narrow focus on seemingly
banal, widely-distributed photographic snapshots of mass media news
coverage, as well as a commitment to a psychological rendering of
(sur)realistic painting: this is the recipe that underlies Júlia Végh’s
programme.

We observe a determination to reduce to a minimum the means by which
the artist pursues her goals; yet the result is far from being reductive. The
small compositions offer an abundance of dynamic street scenes which we
are invited to read individually, according to our own experience of these
violent events from current East European public life. The colour spectrum
is no less vibrant, with glowing reds and alarming yellows rushing up
against cool greys and aristocratic whites. The interplay of photography
and painting on the transparent foil, rather than traditional canvas,
provides another welcome puzzle to the eye. As layers are mounted on
each other, the works gain a powerful depth, like reliefs. This healthy
juxtaposition of few artistic means reinforcing each other in favour of
innumerable effects guarantees the riches of these paintings, making this
series a relative of earlier Hungarian award winners (Dia Zékány, 2013;
apart from her larger sizes, also Anett Hámori, 2011) both in political
content and in what I’d call conceptual-realistic painterly medium.
