Anton Molnar

It is with great pleasure and honour that I welcome you to QING Gallery's 12th
exhibition, and our very first in this beautiful new art space. To mark this
memorable milestone, we are pleased to Present a truly exceptional solo
exhibition by the renowned French-Hungarian artist Anton Molnár. Anton has
spent the entire year of 2024 working on his best and latest works and this
exhibition showcases one of his most captivating exploration of the elements
that define Malaysia, from its diverse culinary traditions to its deep cultural
heritage and including the majestic Malayan tiger.
Anton Molnár is an artist of profound insight and exceptional mastery. His
canvases are rich with narratives, seamlessly blending threads of history,
culture that resonates deeply with the humanexperience. Molnár's works are
guided by a unique vision that blends traditional techniques with a
contemporary sensibility. Molnár approches painting as an art of livinga
langage of expression through which he infuses each piece with his personal
experience evoking deep reflecting and connection that speaks both the heart
and the intellect.
As the director of QING Gallery, it is my mission to continually create a bridge
between the local and the global art scenes. I aim to enrich our cultural
landscape and offer our audience a chance to engage with the broader
international currents of the art world. At the same time, showcasing the works
of ourtalented local artists on international platforms remains a purpose I hold
dearly. This exchange not only fosters a deeper understanding and
appreciation of diverse artistic expressions but also positions Malaysia as a
vibrant hub for contemporary art.
I am thrilled to share Anton Molnár's exquisite works with our collectors,
friends, and fellow art enthusiasts. This exhibition is more than just a display of
art; it is a journey through the essence of Malaysia as seen through the eyes of a
masterfulartist.
Thankyou forjoining us in celebrating this remarkable exhibition. May it inspire
and ignite a passion for art in all of us.
Warm regards,
Patrick On
Director, QING Gallery

I decided to give the piece the title ‘Born in Motion’, and really tried to translate the sensation that these amazing, legendary drivers experience when they’re driving at 200mph”

Weaving luxurious fine arts into modern architectural

space, where elegance and finesse meets, conceiving

synchronous yet multi-sensorial experience for the

honorable.

In this invitation to travel we feel a real touch of poetry,

colours blend with flavours and with almoust

perceptable perfumes, we could nearly distinguish a

gentle complaine a melancholic song. Each work is a

new adventure, each one gives us different

athmospheres, the Artist creates his ”Ambiance”.

So it is int he middle of well-ordered disorder, of his

”Abstract Realism” that Anton Molnar present us his

travel notebook.

"Anton Molnár hedonista művész. Nem úgy, mint a Satyriconból ismert Trimalchio, a vagyonában féktelenül tobzódó római újgazdag, hanem miként Krúdy hőse, Szindbád, az utazó. Nem duhaj habzsoló, hanem szemlélődő ínyenc. Az ízek, és illatok, a női szépség feltétlen csodálója, benyomások gyűjtője. Életképek, emlékek lenyomata kerül a vászonra. Saját élmények-e vagy inkább a nézők vágyai? Nem fontos. Utazunk korokon át, a középkortól a monarchia fürdővilágáig, a hatvanas évek gyermekjátékaitól a mai metropolisok villódzásáig. Utazunk tájról-tájra, a magyar pusztától New Yorkon át a Csendes-óceán szigetvilágába. Utazunk stílusok között, a reneszánsz és barokk pompájától Monet kertjéig, a pop art reklámvilágán keresztül a tasizmus fröcskölt, csurgatott technikáján át a külvárosi utcák folklórjáig. És végül mindig hazaérünk."

"Anton Molnár is a hedonistic artist. Not like Trimalchio from Satyricon, a Roman nouveau riche feasting on his wealth, but like Krúdy's hero, Sindbád, the traveler. Not an insatiable bacchanalian, but a contemplative gourmet. An unconditional admirer of flavors and aromas, and of female beauty, he is also a collector of impressions. Imprints of life and memories are gathered on the canvas. Are they personal experiences or do they reflect the desires of the viewer? It doesn't matter.  We are travelling through times, from the Middle Ages to the unique atmosphere of the monarchy's steam baths, from the iconic sixties childhood's toys to the flickering metropolis. We are travelling across landscapes, from the Hungarian Puszta steppes to New York all the way to peaceful ocean islands. We are travelling between styles, from Renaissance and Baroque splendor to Monet's garden, through the codes of pop art and the splashed, dripping technique of tachism to the folklore of suburban streets. And at the end, we always get home."

Hope with Arts!!!

Anton Molnar 's "From Madeira with Love" is more than a series of new works, more than an inspiration : it is a proposal.

The artist captures a traditional Reid's moment, a wonderful one, well known by its travellers.

Then he "rewrites" this delightful souvenir. And through his love of painting, his love of this treasured scene, the experience is magnified.

The instant gets enhanced through the eye of the painter, the love of this unique atmosphere, but also the love of the artist for Art itself.

Welcome to this Madeira, translated through love of art.

From the very first signs of artistic expressions up to current cutting edge contemporary pieces, a specific element interlinks art over time: the story. Art tells a story, whether it is factual, mystical, educational, poetic or philosophic. A person (the artist) talks to others (viewers), his or her words are translated into brushstrokes and shades, so that the idea finds its physical form.

Thus each artist becomes the teller of their very own story, unique and personal.

Anton Molnár is inviting us into his. And it is characterised by a wide repertoire, both in terms of subjects and styles, offering us to travel through countries, times and ideas...

EXPOSITION "TRAVELLING BY REID'S"

29.December 2017 - 14.January 2018

Avec le devoillage the grand mural painting( 600 x 250 cm)pour le Reid's Palace Madeira

« Fundamental diaries » presents a journey through Anton Molnar’s landmark themes and favourite concepts. The artist put together this very special collection, revisiting his key subjects, to give us a quintessential selection of his work.

These distinctive pieces bring us the very essence of the “Molnar style”, the artist’s personal view on life and art. Born in Hungary, the world and its cultures became a strong source of inspirations for him. His diary is filled up with moments, encounters and objects, all parts of his personal archive.

In this collection each portrait is a mirror revealing the personality of its models, showing us a very specific feature of this character. And each still life, could it be a wonderful breakfast or an ancient toy, offers an experience and acts like a witness of its time. Then another major facet of his work focuses on art as a concept and questions its limits.

Using Italian and Flemish Renaissance masters technics and looking at Pop art, Abstract Expressionism and Conceptual art, Anton Molnar creates a singular world, a personal “Art de vivre” he invites us to discover.

A l'occasion de son exposition à San Marino Anton Molnar nous dévoile une collection puissante, tant au niveau des thèmes que de la palette. On retrouve les natures mortes minutieuses, véritables carnets de voyages aux ambiances uniques. Puis on découvre ses "moments", instants capturés au détour d'une rue, d'une foire, d'un trajet, pris sur le vif quelque part dans le monde...

Commande réalisée pour le groupe DIAGEO .Plus de 7 mois de travail résume dans ce clip!

A travers sa nouvelle collection, Anton Molnar nous dévoile un répertoire personnel et singulier. Ses toiles sont autant d' "histoires" de sa vie : témoignages variés d'une existence, ambiances captées en un instant. La lumière Cubaine fait écho aux chatoyantes patines abstraites, tandis que l'automobiliste mécanique croise le regard de vénérables aïeuls, tout peut arriver...

Repéré sur le radar de nombreux collectionneurs internationaux, Anton Molnar, peintre hongrois basé à Paris, nous avait dévoilé une maitrise technique remarquable à travers ses portraits, natures mortes et odalisques.A l'occasion de sa nouvelle exposition à Budapest, il nous propose une toute nouvelle facette de son univers artistique.Le jeu.Mais pas n'importe quel jeu. Au fil de cette nouvelle collection les ambiances "Molnaresque" côtoient des bolides déjantés, acidulés, ironiquement séduisants. On note ce motard très concentré, qui occupe majestueusement le centre de la toile. Il est à la fois beau et dramatique car on peut aussi bien y voire la beauté simple d'un objet candide tout comme la condition même de l'homme solitaire du XXIeme siècle. Car au fond c'est le sujet central de l'oeuvre d'Anton Molnar: l'Homme. L'humanité dans son "génialisme" et parfois dans son absurdité se pose en fil conducteur de cette nouvelle collection surprenante d'audace.
