Collection: ARON BARATH

Aron Barath was born in Novi Sad in 1980 and moved to Budapest with his family during the South Slavic war. He studied graphic design at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts before turning from graphic work towards abstract painting.

Barath builds his compositions through broad brushstrokes, translucent washes and overlapping fields of colour. The paintings are made on the floor with brushes, brooms, sponges and spray tools. Although the gestures appear spontaneous, they develop within a carefully prepared technical framework. Colour is not used to describe another subject but becomes the subject itself, moving between light, substance and rhythm.

Circle Culture has presented Barath’s work since 2021. His 2024 solo exhibition Melting Radiator brought together paintings whose loose gestures and layered surfaces appear like blurred windows, musical improvisations or traces of a movement already passing.
