Ildiko Kovacs: Edging Form

One of Australia’s most respected abstract painters, Ildiko Kovacs is renowned for images that, whilst grounded in her sense of the Australian landscape, are at the same time deeply personal meditations on her life and emotions.

About this body of work, Ildiko shares: “I like my paintings to show the history of making, to become activated through the process of reworking. Accumulated layers are built up; rhythm and impulse guiding the drawn line across the surface as I choreograph form. My process is intuitive and felt. It responds to an internal psychological and emotional landscape that is expressed through physicality and spontaneity. This momentum imbues the painting with a kind of life force.”
