plenair.hu – Contemporary Art Gallery

Pleinair.hu online gallery displays the artworks of artists living in, or nearby the Hungarian town, Kecskemét. Here they show their works collectively, however, they do not form any kind of artistic group. Plein-air means to paint outdoors. In the interpretation of the members of this site, plein air is also a kind of traditionalism, an approach which has not disappeared through the isms of the 20th century. They believe that the figurative depiction still has raison d’étre. Hence the source is the sight, the spiritful experience. Naturalism is a characteristic feature, but that does not necessarily means photorealistic portrayal.
