Little Plants

Žolt Kovač’s artistic practice frequently carries references to the visual narrative techniques of comic books, images of city life, and Pop Art. In his series Empty Time, the artist presents moments from the spare time of two people sharing the same space. "Empty Time" consists of oil paintings on aluminium plates that resemble sequential segments of a story. Depicted with the simple lines and colours of the comic book aesthetic, these scenes focus on moments of serenity and intimacy spent at home. Freezing the fast-paced flow of the modern city and the intensely busy working life which leaves no time for leisure, Kovač opens up space for play, hobbies, reading, having a chat, and spending time with loved ones. The works in "Empty Time" suggest slowing down our lives, winning back the time lost in daily hustle, and creating more opportunities for the simple little things that we often neglect.
