Paintings

For Collectors and Professionals - This portfolio offers only a glimpse of Attila Konnyu’s achievement. Beyond these works lies a broader body of art of greater depth and refinement. Discerning collectors, curators, and institutions may request exclusive access to additional pieces for dialogue, acquisition, and collaboration. Tachisme - The Language of Gesture and the Unconscious Derived from the French term tache - meaning “stain” or “blot” - Tachisme (also known as Art Informel) emerged in France during the 1940s and 1950s as a defining movement in postwar European abstraction. Often regarded as the European counterpart to American Abstract Expressionism, Tachisme similarly values spontaneity, gestural mark-making, and freedom from rigid compositional structures. Yet, while Abstract Expressionism is often monumental and raw, Tachisme tends toward a more intuitive, lyrical, and introspective mode of expression. Philosophical and psychological discourses highlight why this matters. Modern thought emphasizes the power of non-conscious processes in shaping human creativity. Our emotions, perceptions, and decisions are not only the product of conscious thought but are profoundly influenced by the subconscious. Building on this, Carl Gustav Jung introduced the idea of the collective unconscious: a shared reservoir of archetypes and symbols found across cultures and epochs. Within this framework, art can be seen not merely as personal expression but as a manifestation of a deeper, universal source of meaning. Through its gestural abstraction and resistance to rational form, Tachisme engages directly with this unconscious domain - offering a visual language that precedes, and even transcends, conscious cognition. This online presentation offers a selected portfolio of works by Attila Konnyu. While these paintings represent significant achievements, the artist has created even more profound works beyond this selection. Upon request, he is open to presenting further pieces to professional audiences and collectors. These original, contemporary abstract paintings are available to collectors and seekers alike - for those who wish to buy abstract art online or invest in large-scale works that carry both emotional resonance and philosophical depth.
