In the early eighties, the central problem of Katalin Hetey's works focused on: durability and change and the search for the endless scope of the variability of phenomena. She took simple spatial forms of universal meaning based on sphere, cube, prism, or curve.
As she noticed, "I was seeking the "fundamental", pursuing an inner logic."
1924 , Hungary
Katalin Hetey (1924-2010) graphic designer, painter and sculptor left Hungary in 1956. First she went Italy (where she met Alberto Burri and Marino Marini) then she moved to France. Her works were exhibited in Galerie Lambert, Paris and in the Stedelijk Museum in Netherland. In the late 60's using cement, marble powder and mixture of binders made white reliefs, examining the theme of the material's self-molding and chaos. From the seventies his intention was moving towards the clear forms and made spatulas and mock-ups that can be realized in monumental sizes. Its movable, variable steel plastics can be found in countless museums and private collections.
