In the Horn Collection,Judit Reigl’s Centre of Dominance (1959) is more than a pictorial composition: it is an energetic field that speaks through the mobilisation of body and spirit. Here, the painterly gesture is not simply an act of expression but a force in its own right, emerging at the threshold of instinct, physicality and concentrated thought.
In the exhibition space, this work is surrounded by the personal reflections of sixteen contemporary artists – not quotations, but questions, re-imaginings and continuations. Across different media and painterly languages, their works align around a shared axis: how, today, can art address ideas of force, of centre, of movement and of transformation? Within this dialogue, Reigl’s gesture becomes alive once more – not as the past, but as a disruptive presence.
