The silkscreen is reminiscent of the artist's latest painting direction, with separate yet cohesive forms designed around the edges of the compositions. The harmony and tension of the formal set of great classics and canonized artists (Ilona Keserü's The Approach, the inverted compositions of gravestone motifs, Fajó's undulating circular motifs, the Form Festival, Frank Stella's The Black Paintings series) are all present in István Dukai's painting and through it in his newest series of graphic works.

István Dukai (1987, Zenta, Yugoslavia) is a graphic and visual artist currently living and working in Budapest and Eger. He is a leading graphic designer and art director for several European based brands. His work can be found in several important private collections. His art is rooted in the geometric tradition, in the philosophy of constructivism, in op-art, but most of all in minimal art. The basic principle of his compositions is reductionism, based on the stylization of natural elements into geometric forms and the varied ways in which these elements are combined.
