Terézia Hajgató is a figurative representative of the generation of painters who entered the scene at the end of the 2010s. Her realistically shaped, psychologising oil paintings scan trauma and emotional situations through everyday objects. Born in Tapolca, Hajgató finished her studies at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts at the end of the 2010s. She chose the empty chair, endowed with psychologising symbolism, as the basic therapeutic motif of her early art. In her realistic oil paintings, which are designed as drawings, the chairs, conceived as self-portraits, appear facing each other in a carpet-like grid of ornamental mesh. The different styles of seats either connect with the pattern of the background, or blend in and hide in it. Their passive self-defence strategy is reminiscent of the visual tactics of the mimicry known from the animal world. Hajgató has explored the theme of the anthropomorphised chair in group compositions and in image fields divided into two, as well as in sculptural, photographic forms and installations. In her 2023 series of paintings, balloon animals and toy figures – exploring the themes of childhood vulnerability and daydreaming – replaced the chair motif. Hajgató lives and works in Budapest, she also exhibits her work in the capital city. Gábor Reider
