CSOOR JOZSEF
Artist

Serbia

I LIVE IN SERBIA WHERE MY ART IS NOT UNDERSTOOD. BECAUSE OF MY NON-ACADEMYC AND NON-MINIMALIST ATTITUDE TOWARDS PAINTING I AM NOT HONORED,NOT APPRAISED, REJECTED AND INSULTED IN MY OWN COUNTRY, AFTER THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OF ART WORK AND NUMEROUS EXHIBITIONS. FEW PEOPLE MAKE EXCEPTION, WHO NOT ONLY LOOK BUT SEE AS WELL. MY IMAGES ARE A REFLECTION OF MY SOUL, MY KNOWLEDGE AND VISIONS, AND WHEN I AM AN ARTIST I'M VERY DIFFICULT TOO FACE MISUNDERSTANDING. EXCUSE MY KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH THAT IS NOT VERY GOOD. I AM GRATEFUL THAT YOU ARE GIVING ME ENERGY FOR FURTHER CREATION. THANK YOU.

,,HIS PAINTING ARE TESTIMONY OF SHAMANIC TRAVELING IN WITCH FOUGHT WITH THE EVIL SPIRITS UNTIL HE FOUND HIMSELF WITH THE GOOD SPIRITS. GOOD SPIRITS DISCOVERED HIM ALL THOSE WONDERFUL WORLDS AT THE END OF THE PATH." (Dr. UROS NEDELJKOVIC)

,,FOR ME CSOOR JOZSEF IS THE MOST INTERESTING PAINTER THAT I'VE HAD MED IN 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN ART AND PAINTING, PARTLY IT IS BECAUSE HE HAS MASTERED OVER ALMOST EVERY PAINTING TECHNIQUE THERE IS, AND HE UNSELFISHLY PASSES IT TO YOUNGER PAINTERS. BESIDES, HE CREATED COMPLETELY NEW STYLE THAT CANNOT BE IMITATED REPLICATED. HE IS ONE OF FEW PAINTERS THAT ARE PAINTED DURING THE SPRING-SUMMER OF 1999 WHEN NOVI SAD WAS CONTINUOUSLY BOMBARDED FROM NATO, NOT ONLY THAT HE HAS PAINTED BUT HE CAPTURED IT ALL IN HIS PICTURES-FROM THE SPARK OF LIFE UNTIL THE REBIRTH. HIS PICTURES GLOW WITH THE STRENGHT, WISDOM, AND FANTASY FULL OF COLORITE, THAT HE SEEMS THAT THERE IS A LIFE AFTER DEATH." (CSABRADY GABOR - NOVI SAD- EXPOSITION 2006)
