20″ dia. – raku-fired ceramic – 2019 This is my feminist art. It is Daniel’s judgment that saved Susanna from the two old village elders. She was accused of adultery by the elders because she did not fulfill their sexual demand. So they charged her and she was taken out of the village to be stoned when Daniel came by. He separated the two ‘no good’ elders and easily figured out that they were lying. Then the villagers took the two old ‘geezers’ and stoned them to death!! That is the reason I like this story… virtue wins over lying.
I have found two separate skis at the curbs. I took them home and made a ‘takedown bow’ out of them. I ‘sculpted’ the middle handle part and by removing the bolts it could be ‘folded’ into two feet length. I used a bicycle brake line for the string. It is approximately a 70 to 80lb ‘instrument’. I had fun to design the arrow holder to ensure that the feathers will not touch anything during their release.

As the title say I very much respect Prof. Jordan Peterson. He is one and maybe the only one who give good advice to young people, being male or female. I bought and read his ’12 rule to life’ just to see how close I spent my now 72 years. And interestingly I did it very close to his guidance. I made this painting to be hanged at my studio in respect to him.

I thing everyone has this moment in their life…’Why Me’.
I made the sketch for this position some 45 years ago when I left my birth place Hungary. I could not go back at that time because I would have been jailed… and I wanted only study the great artist’s works at Italy. Looking back I did not have too many times that I felt that way in my life. I was, so far, fortunate if I may use this word. Apparently this picture was rejected at a gallery here in Toronto just a few weeks ago… due to its nudity. It seems that at somehow we are turning back to the ‘dark ages’. With this very ‘twisted pose’ of the legs I wanted to express the pain, anxiety and the unwavering belief of Job.

I respect this man very much… Prof. Jordan Peterson. I recomend to read his book…
11″ x 17″ (on a 15″x19″ wood backing) – raku-fired ceramic – 2019 I have done Jonah’s stories last year so I resolute to make a few more scene from the Torah. I like Noah as he ‘saved’ us and all the other creatures. Also he was reworded by the grape and became the first alcoholic… did you think about that? You may notice that I show a UFO on these pictures… because somehow the Angel had to came to Earth.

18″ x 48″ – rakufired ceramic – 2006/2019 SOLD The CN tower is one of the tallest tower at North America. When we arrived 1974 I have seen the Sicorsky helicopter placing the very top of the antena to the top. When during the summer one goes up and looks at Toronto hse/he will see that the city is crowned with trees. Green green and green with all the new skyscrapers sticking out of it. One summer nigh when we were living at highrise at Don Mills (701 Don Mills rd. 16th floor) I saw many lightening striking the tower. This picture try to cepture that moment.
18″ dia. – hammered copper sheet – 1970/2019 I made that copper bowl when I was still studying engineering at the Technical University of Budapest. I had two sculptor teachers I took classes with. They were Istvan Kakonyi & Gyula Zorley. I learned a lot form then. It was not my official subject but by then I knew that I wanted to be a sculptor. It took 45 years that finally I do what I want. I had retired from engineering some seven years ago. But if you look what I did in the meantime on the art side… then I could say that never stopped since those early days.

4′ tall – bevear chewed popler – 2019 Some years ago I have found this very nice popler branch at the shores of Lake Ontario. Some beaver chewed of all the bark leaving his teeth marks on the branch. I took it to make walking stick out of it. My oldest son loved it so it is with him. At the top I inserted a bronze door knob and at the end made a copper cover not to let it split up.
4’6″ tall – beaver chewed oak branch – 2019 Some twenty plus years ago I have found this very strong oak branch at the shores of Cyprus Lake. Some beaver chewed of all the bark leaving his teeth marks on the branch. I took it home and took so many years to finally make this walking stick. Yes, pretty soon I will need it. At the top I inserted a bronze door knob and at the end made a copper cover not to let it split up.

16″x 21″ – Mahogany – 2019 I’ve found this piece wood at the curbs as part of a tray, thrown away. I could not let it end up at the dumping ground. So I took it home with the aim to crave something into it. That was some years ago. After thinking what was in this wood Jesus face looked at me. Now here is the result. I put 24k gold and pure silver to enhance the appearance of the work. And … I think Jesus deserves this treatment.
