Asteroids & Space Junks

Asteroids & Space Junk shifts attention toward extra-terrestrial imaginaries. These works are painted on fields coated with Black 3.0 (a pigment engineered to absorb up to 97% of visible light), creating a surface where depth collapses into near-total darkness. Against this void, fragmentary forms appear like meteor samples, orbital debris or unclassified bodies drifting through space. The drawings often attempt to anticipate or intuit the movement of objects that tumble helplessly through the void, mapping imagined trajectories rather than observed ones. Although inspired by scientific imaging, the series remains speculative, proposing visual hypotheses for materials and motions that are physically real yet difficult or impossible to witness directly.

Gyula Sági’s art is a fresh approach in capturing cosmology, clearly contemporary and totally timeless at the same time. The approach is cosmological as he never gets satisfied with depicting or illustrating any single aspect of the world as we know it. He knows that the cosmos is: order and chaos, poetry and science, incorporating every possible combination of those qualities. Those combinations give rise to the work of Sági: a spontaneous, explosive gesture gets framed in a pseudomathematical structure, or, vice versa, an empty (thus, cosmic) frame is filled by signs of a very human presence. There are no poetic aesthetics and scientific aesthetics existing in separation. There is only one aesthetics, whose limit is the cosmos itself, and whose neverending outpouring is the œuvre of Gyula Sági.
