Censored Imre Bak is an continuation of the series of paintings Paradise Lost from 2014, in which the artist duo “collaborates” with famous artists (Cranach, Bosch, Blake) to create new artworks contaminated with dark matter. The other source of the work is the 1967 exhibition of the Young Artists’ Studio, from which a work by Imre Bak, one of the pioneers of Hungarian geometric abstract painting, was excluded. Lőrinc Borsos covers a work by Imre Bak from this period (in collaboration with the artist who contributed to our collection with several works) with dark material. This opens up mystical dimensions, symbolic wormholes between times and themes, and also raises the question of authorship.
