Sándor Pécsi

The secrets of spiritual world… Deeply dormant secrets, present in all of us yet undisclosed, which sometimes, evoked by some experience will become distinct. Sándor Pécsi is a genuine creative artist, who conveys emotions through his works, bringing our innermost selves to the surface.

His art is multifaceted, functioning on both, the spiritual and the material, levels. He is a poet and a wood-carver at once, in such way that this dual creative activity brings forth his message by blending and intensifying the two faculties. On hearing the pulsation of his shamanistic poems his wood-carved figures will slowly appear and dance around, evoking the ancestors. With his help we too can get some sense of the spiritual world, and for a moment we may be touched by the ancient wisdom of eternal recurrance. His objects are characterized by the alternate appearance of flat and corrugated surfaces, by curved, accented forms, but first of all by the MEANING to be found in all of them. His large-size figures are often carved from one single piece of wood by visioning into it the object in the making. The rough wood surface refers to the very beginnings, and to the desire awakening from time to time to get rid of and leave behind all the superfluous by-products of our civilised age.
