Ádám Dóra is a representative of the young generation of painters who started their careers at the end of the 2010s. His tableau paintings, which border on abstraction and figurative art, are defined by colourful stain painting, a light, spontaneous gestural language, and references from fashion and pop culture. Ádám Dóra, born in Vác, graduated from the University of Fine Arts in 2017, majoring in painting. His painting initially explored the intersections of the built environment and reductive abstraction, geometry and organic expression. He took abstract architectural motifs as his starting point, assigning angular blocks of architecture to the broad brushstrokes of the "colour field” stains. As he put it in his short Ars Poetica: "My works are somewhere on the border of abstraction and imagery. Their starting point is the constant confrontation between the technocratic world of the 21st century and the human desire for nature." Ádám Dóra arrived at the abstract representation of contemporary pop-cultural objects, like sports shoes, through the increasingly airy images of rock landscapes. The transformation came at the time of the pandemic, when sneakers – which further developed the UV colours of the eighties with hi-tech styling – appeared as garish “apparitions” on the deserted streets. In his most recent works, which can be described as "easy pop", the exaggerated, grotesque forms of oversized sneakers appear on a celestial stage of bleached, cartoonishly drawn clouds: giant, lumpy rubber soles and textile surfaces in whimsical patterns, formulated with a loose brush. During the years after graduating from university, Ádám Dóra has participated in several solo and group exhibitions, mainly in Budapest. He was the youngest nominee to participate in the 2021 Esterházy Art Awards exhibition at the Ludwig Museum. He lives and works in Budapest. Gábor Rieder
