ANIKO HORVATH: “DERELICT”

March 21 – April 30, 2011
Joint Artist’s Reception On Thursday, March 24th, 5:00-7:00 pm In Pegasus Gallery

Aniko Horvath photographs abandoned sites as a means to explore the formal and contextual associations of space. Horvath employs the aesthetic of architectural decay to delineate blighted locations that include home, factory and urban settings. These photographs are composed with sensitivity to the trace remains of human occupation and the suggestive nature of dramatically lit architectonics. Broken windows, machine parts, furnishings, appliances and trash act as psychologically charged indicators of loss, isolation and situational disfigurement. Horvath’s powerful images empathize with these spaces and offer expansive readings of social upheaval, environmental waste, catastrophe and the destructive force of time.
Horvath teaches art at Turn of River Middle School in Stamford and earned a BFA and MFA from Pratt Institute.
