WINNERS IN THE UPPER SECONDARY CATEGORY
I. SETTLED
Name of the author: Boldizsár Gáspár, 14 years old
Age group: upper secondary school
School: Huzella Tivadar Bilingual Primary School
Title of the play: "Robi disguised himself with a nylon bag, the Cered pub thief..."
Technique: graphite, coloured pencil
Explanation:
I used István Szőnyi's Around the Table. I have left the original concept, but I have reinterpreted it. I take a contemporary approach to the characters at the table.
Part of the purpose of some of my changes is to put the image into modern time. On the other hand, I am suggesting that in today's world people's interest has shifted more and more towards the superficial, the superficial and the ordinary.
II.
Name of the author: Herman Janka, 12 years old
Age group: upper secondary school
School: Erkel Ferenc Primary School in Kispest
Title of the play: Dive
Technique: watercolour
Thought:
A bad thought that turns into a swamp around me. It pulls me down and drowns me. This is what I thought of when I was painting. She smokes because my dad smokes and I don't like it. The smoke was also drifting.
III.
Name of the author: Szalma Zoé Diána, 11 years old
Age group: upper secondary school
School: District IX Molnár Ferenc Hungarian-English Bilingual Primary School
Technique: porpastel
Title of the play: Another world
Thought:
"In my picture I tried to show a scene that is 99.9% different from reality. A girl walks through the door and is already leading her future into another world. She will probably live the rest of her life alone, because the door she came through has started to disappear."
IV.
Name of the author: Szonja Kovács, 13 years old
Age group: upper secondary school
School: Huzella Tivadar Bilingual Primary School
Image title: Three card playing
Technique: mixed media-gouache, coloured pencil
What it represents, how I used the work: I used István Szőnyi's Lunch at the Father's House as inspiration. I transferred the colours and composition into my painting. I tried to add a bit of mystery, as we don't know who the characters are or where they are, so for me it has a mysterious quality. I used an attention-grabbing colour for the large table in the middle.
V. APPLICED
Name of the author: Zorka Marafkó
Age group: upper secondary school
School: Kálmán Kittenberger Primary School and AMI in Nagymaros
Image title: Cows on the mirror of water
Technique: Tempera on mirror
Description: The inspiring work is István Szőnyi's Tehenek a in water. I thought that, as in the original work, the sky and the water touches, I try to achieve the effect by using a mirror as a base and taking advantage of the reflection. Thus the original image, the own creative attitude and the present can be encountered in this paraphrase I have created. If I hold the painting in front of me, it is me, if I hold it in front of the original painting, it is reflected back, so my painting in a different context can carry a different image, a different meaning.
WINNERS IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL CATEGORY
I. SETTLED
Name of the author: ShirotoHaruka 17 years old
Age group: secondary school
School: Váci Piarist High School
Title of the play: "The bench of happiness"
Technique: watercolour and acrylic
Technical description:
"The first time I saw this painting, I was immediately drawn to its beautiful use of colour and the image of autumn. I decided to depict a woman and a man meeting on the "bench of happiness" because of István Szőnyi's life and my analysis of the painting. Therefore, to express a friendly and happy atmosphere, I painted with a mixture of watercolour and acrylic paint on a white ground. One thing I would like to emphasize - is the warm colours and to include colours that are different from the original - to express the warmth of the people, but keeping the atmosphere of the original painting."
II.
Name of the author: Szonja Tóth-Hibó, 16 years old
Age group: secondary school
School: Váci Piarist High School
Title of the play: River of memories
(Paraphrase of István Szőnyi's painting The Old Révész)
Technique: Watercolour montage technique
Technical description:
The old man's posture reminded me of a reminiscence of the past. Like when old people reminisce about old times. With the brownish, faded colours, I wanted to capture this old, melancholic mood, a bit like the old, browned photographs. The large, spreading tree also symbolises the long life lived.
III.
Name of the author: András Cseh, 19 years old
Age group: secondary school
School: Scheiber Sándor High School and Primary School
Title of the play: Recently
Technique: photo, digital transformation
Technical description:
The picture reflects on the painting Around the Table by showing what the family in the picture would look like today.With the rise of the smartphone, how our everyday lives are becoming more digital and how we consume the internet from our phones like we consume water from a glass, I replaced the various objects in the hands of the three characters with phones to show how much a phone can replace. This kind of digitisation is also shown in the way the picture is made, as paint and brushes are replaced by digital image editing. And the more realistic style has been replaced by a more abstract, simplistic, but incomprehensible and opaque tone, which also shows the merging of everyday objects. This kind of change may have brought many things under one roof. But is it easier to move around in the huge mess it has created?
IV.
Name of the author: Gyöngyi Plette, 16 years old
Age group: secondary school
School: Váci Piarist High School
Title of the play: "Zebegényi story"
Technique: tempera
Technical description:
"At first glance, the image looked very dark and colourless, but I started to notice the colours in it. So I thought, why not enhance the colours? So I changed the colours of the image, I enhanced it, I lightened it. So by painting it with slightly brighter colours, it changed the whole look of the picture."
V. APPLICED
Name of the author: Balogh Gerda Csenge, 17 years old
Age group: secondary school
School: Karinthy Frigyes High School
Technique: mixed (watercolour, tempera, felt)
Technical description:
I chose István Szőnyi's Cold Girl, in which he depicts his child. Zsuzsi was born in 1924, between the two world wars, and was only 15 years old when the Second World War broke out. With this paraphrase, I would like to emphasise the loss of childhood and the compulsion to grow up that the era demanded.
What is perhaps striking at first is that the little girl has no face, which is a sign of alienation, of the separation from society and the terror that war evokes in her. The shadows/smoke, symbolizing the "outside" world, the battlefield and the war itself, seeping in through the ajar door leading into the family home. The door, painted in warm colours, offers a sense of security, of childhood idyll, although it cannot fully protect the little girl from the reality (war and crisis outside) that the gap represents. While Zsuzsa and the door are covered in warmer shades, the background is black and white. This contrast highlights the differences between the harsh reality and the child's soul. While the former is bleak and soulless, the latter wants to paint a harmonious picture of the world.
I. SETTLED
Name of the author: Farkas Dávid, 11 years old
Age group: upper secondary school
Title of the play: Esti train
Technique: video graphics
Technical description:
In Cegléd, there was a recent Szőnyi exhibition, which we visited with several groups of students. Dávid listened with interest to Szőnyi's life story, including his work as a teacher and the many train journeys he made between Budapest and Zebegény. The common point in all of them is to capture the experience of train travel, to perceive and reproduce the spectacle, the moment and the mood that emerges during the journey.
David loves to draw first and foremost, which is why he chose the sketch pencil technique to depict the natural and built environment.
