I believe there is an artistic fountain within me, out of which my art flows. I enjoy trying different styles in my artwork; however, I am currently focusing on social realism and symbolism. Through this, I want my paintings to convey important truths about today’s world and society. In sixth grade, I learned in an art book about world famous artists such as Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. Their work, particularly their use of colors, left a very deep impression on me and from that time I knew that I wanted to be an artist. My beliefs, thoughts, spirit, passions, and values shape my paintings, and are a fundamental part of what it means to me to be an artist.

Magda Hogh

Expansive geometric fields of color dominate the abstract canvases of Magda Hogh. Though bright and intense, these paintings are not overpowered by such vivid earth tones but retain myriad layers of complexity and subtlety that are a testament to Hogh’s immense skill. Strongly contrasting blues and oranges or yellows, whites and blacks sing out against each other with high dramatic tension - but the stippled brushstrokes and the transparent layers of acrylic make the canvas’ surface shimmer like a heat haze, giving the pieces a real feeling of texture and depth. Despite their apparent geometric rigidity, when one looks more closely one sees that lines are broken or merge into the background, boundaries are smudged and worked into, while colors bleed at their boundaries. The effect, especially where there is high tonal contrast, is one that is unique. It feels as if the paint itself is being relished, the pigment and the action of the brush its own satisfaction.
Magda Hogh currently lives and works in Denmark.

Futuristic barcodes? Arteries infusing divine love to mortal humans? Tachyons reaching apogee and translocating into hyperspace?
I use a computer as a painting tool the same way other artists use a brush. From a purely visual point of view, Barnett Newman and Gene Davis served as archetypes for my work. They created, if I may borrow terminology from the classical music, duets and trios. In the case of Gene Davis, perhaps even septets and octets. I, on the other hand, wanted to create symphonies with much greater variability in color, width and distribution of individual vertical lines. Using a computer, I attempt to create more subtle, sophisticated color play. A computer does not generate my works; they are a result of endless search for a “harmonious” pattern.
