The precise template motifs and monochrome colour palette of István Dukai's work, prepared using digital techniques, draw attention to texture, material and form.

Dukai mostly favours raw, unadorned materials in the creative process, emphasising the traditional ideals of craft and art.

His works are entirely objective, non-referential works that are linked to the creative conception of constructivism, abstract geometrical art, also minimal art, the motifs of repetitive tine sets in electronic music and/or the aestheticism of brutal...ist architecture.READ MORE

Composed of concentric bands and stripes, painted on raw canvas with black acrylic paint, the works are at once stark, deadpan, austere, imposing, velvety, diagrammatic, yet tactile and sensual.

His works are largely hand-woven, made from recycled, not uncommonly decades-old burlap, which he dyes with natural tanning materials.

His work is a fascinating dichotomy of natural and artificial, analogue and digital, traditional and technocratic.
