Attila Konnyu Exhibits at Venice Glass Week 2025 in Italy’s Cultural Capital

Venice, Italy – September 16–18, 2025. Attila Konnyu’s latest work was recently showcased at the Venice Glass Week, one of Europe’s leading multidisciplinary art events, where his paintings entered into a powerful dialogue with the city’s centuries-old traditions.

Over three days, Konnyu’s canvases transformed the Venetian setting into a space of reflection, silence, and boundless movement. His artworks, defined by presence, gesture, and the continuous transformation of matter, invited visitors to look beyond surface and form—discovering their own inner landscapes.

“The artist’s gestures lead into spaces that do not enclose but open: his surfaces do not imprison the viewer within structures, but instead allow an experience of boundlessness. The works are not objects but passages, subtle labyrinths in which the viewer encounters their own inner world,” wrote curator László Erdész.

In Venice, the dialogue between Konnyu’s art and the centuries-old tradition of glassmaking became particularly striking. Just as glass is shaped by fire and breath, his paintings revealed matter as a living, evolving process—never fixed, always becoming. Fluidity met weight, silence met grandeur, breath met stone. As noted by Juliet Art Magazine, which described his work as 'the gestural abstractions of Attila Konnyu' the artist’s presence in Venice reinforces his role in today’s international art scene.

The exhibition marked another milestone in Konnyu’s international journey, which has spanned over two decades and bridged cultures across Europe, the United States, and Asia. His collectors include prominent patrons such as the foremost Munkácsy collector, alongside private collections worldwide.

By bringing his vision to Venice, Attila Konnyu reaffirmed his distinctive place in today’s international art scene, offering audiences a rare experience where painting ceases to be an object and becomes a passage, an opening into boundlessness.
