Márton Nemes’s painting alternated between the figural and the abstract for a while. For example, his paintings in the series titled the Ruins of Modernism, which examines the effects of the changing economic and ideological interests on architecture, depict space in a figurative way; however, the geometrical portrayal of the deserted stores already shows signs of the need, which is probably the main motivating force for the painter, that is, understanding visual abstraction. This is also evident in how Márton Nemes’s art is characterized by continuous experimentation; it is a contemplation on painting – via painting. His artworks are not created only by the traditional instruments of a painter, but foil, wooden chips, and some tools rarely used in painting are also integrated into his creative process. As a result, his pieces are not just traditional paintings hanging on the walls, but they extend into space, blending in with the complementary installation elements around them.
