​

​

Theorist and practitioner Karinka Szabo-Detchart enjoys conceptualizing and concretizing. Think and do. Because one cannot do without the other.
His work is rooted at the edge of art, architecture and nature. The artist pushes reflection beyond established borders and seeks to dislodge the origin of forms.

The framework is characteristic of nature, not that of human thought, sclerosing and talkative; this is the purpose of the artist who frees himself from intellectual schemes, frees spaces, transforms looks and opens the mind.
Karinka Szabo-Detchart questions seeks to return to the essential, to the brutality of the first jolt, to move forward, to find something fundamental and universal, a form of expression, a new language that would combine the natural and architecture.

Humanity is at the crossroads of intuition and thought. His works capture this duality, this mixture. The artist seeks this point of balance and tension between fierce nature and rigorous structure. Where architecture traps movement in a fixed structure, the plant keeps in its heart, like a buried treasure, a thinking, mobile and living matter. A vibrant beat that the artist captures to build a new spatial morphology and reveal wild thought. Nature is the geography that we have to think about in order to build other artistic forms.

Karinka Szabo-Detchart's works are metaphysical and poetic. By contemplating them, we understand that artistic thought is an impulse of life.

 BIO

​

 

My work questions   the formal identity of all human creation through the ambiguous relationships, domination or submission, that art, architecture and nature can maintain. I practice drawing, painting, photography, video, sculpture and in situ installation by engaging in a reflection on the relationship of art to its origins and its natural, contextual, see societal environment.

My in situ projects are an opportunity to question the interior or exterior space and to establish a dialogue between the architecture, the surrounding landscape or the history of the place. Concerned about the central place of man, his impact on the Earth, I propose works that allow us to consider a re-connection to  nature and to all the living.

My family history , my Hungarian origins, my insatiable curiosity constantly push me  to explore other countries to discover new cultures and often bring me back to the idea of movement, migration or belonging to a territory.

I try to abolish the physical or conceptual borders between disciplines and "worlds", to propose without imposing a single interpretation on the spectator or visitor, who, stimulated by "open", interactive, enigmatic or even emblematic works, making references to different fields, can give rise to new associations or connections conducive to openness, reflection or daydreaming.
