The contemplation about chaos brought about Katalin Hetey's automatic drawings and etchings creating simple linear structures. The idea of making art based on automatism first appeared in Antoni Tàpies's oeuvre. Katalin Hetey's automatism concentrates in to movement originating in instinct, lines resembling spontaneous handwriting, changing direction.
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.
