COLOUR: “the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it reflects or emits light.”MOMENTUM: “the impetus gained by a moving object.”
Though both terms are borrowed from the realm of physics, and seem to stand apart without immediate relation, there is one field where they converge — art.
Colour is born from movement: from the artist’s pulse, the pressure of a hand, the charge that turns motion into image — and from form, meaning unfolds.

Yet something more is required to render all this visible: contrast.
In this exhibition at the Liszt Institute Brussels, five distinguished Hungarian artists from two generations reveal what happens when the deliberate act of placing things side by side is not random, but intentional — when juxtaposition itself becomes a bearer of message. They speak in the language of abstraction, one that resists easy interpretation. These works resist quick understanding. They require time, attention, the viewer’s active gaze — a dialogue between two acts of creation.
The exhibiting artists stand at different points along the arc of artistic life and self-expression. Among them is one who represented Hungary at the 60th Venice Biennale, and another just setting out on his path. One assembles art-historical allusions from Lego bricks; another returns to the ancient craft of glassblowing. One is captivated by the absence of physical objects — by the tension of emptiness — another by the biomorphic unfolding of layers.
In physics, phenomena can be described with precision — almost every process can be marked, measured, or explained. But what this exhibition — and generally good art — reveals has no formula. Here, we must rely solely on the subjectivity of the gaze — on vision itself, where, as in art, colour and momentum become one.
