[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”32″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”full-2″][vc_column_text]\u00c9va R\u00f3nai is a defining figure of Hungarian textile art. She creates her works using the demanding French tapestry technique on an upright loom, which is very time-consuming and requires tremendous patience, energy, and physical fortitude. Despite her use of a traditional tapestry technique and her choice of biblical-mythical subject matter, her works are surprisingly realistic. The motifs and characters which populate these textiles \u2013 often members of her family \u2013 tie them to the present, to events and occurrences of today. Her animal figures are bearers of symbolic meanings and human characteristics; in turn, they appear in these works in \u201ctrue tales\u201d. The critical standpoint, the mild humour, and occasionally the wry irony make the tapestries of \u00c9va R\u00f3nai into flesh-and-blood contemporary art.<\/p>\n
Her exhibition in \u00d3buda looks back on thirty years of work while also presenting new, recently completed tapestries.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”32″][vc_single_image image=”12432″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cWith respect to \u00c9va R\u00f3nai\u2019s large-scale textile pictures, it is important to observe that she works on each of them on her own for a year \u2013 a year and a half. She not only designs them, she also weaves them herself. Thus, her works \u2013 which are the creations of a single individual \u2013 completely express her sense of life, the flutterings of her mood. In all of her compositions, she moves her viewers with her personal touch.\u201d<\/p>\n
