Slowly Painted Dramatic Metaphysics

In Slowly Painted Dramatic Metaphysics, Martin Góth stages a visual drama between seeing, knowing, and painting—where metaphysics unfolds not as abstract thought, but as precise, performative image. Everyday forms morph into estranged objects, while cold, robotic figures and hard-edged gestures become actors in a mechanical theatre. The works evoke de Chirico’s haunting metaphysical spaces and Dalí’s dream logic, yet they remain deeply rooted in the absurd clarity of contemporary visual culture. Here, the pictorial space becomes both a surface of reflection and a site of disorientation—inhabited by tool-like limbs, suspended motion, and frozen perception. Cutting through the surface is a modernist lineage—from Descartes’s anatomical models to cybernetic systems, where vision is both knowledge and illusion. Nostalgia appears not as sentiment, but as metaphysical condition. Text by Zsolt Miklósvölgyi
