AN ARTICLE WHICH APPEARED IN BARCELONA, THE SPANISH NEWSPAPER, “LA VANGUARDIA” ON FEBRUARY 10TH 1979, CONCERNING MICHAEL HEVESI’S FIRST EVER ART EXHIBITION. THE SHOWING WAS AT THE “QUATRE GATS” CAFE/GALLERY IN BARCELONA. PICASSO HELD HIS FIRST EXHIBITION THERE IN FEBUARY 1900.
Michael Hevesi, the young 26 year old Englishman from London, plants his creativity in the mediums of painting and sculpture. Although he graduated in Anthropology from Kent University, Hevesi did not pursue a career in this field. Nevertheless, the influence of this natural science has left its undeniable, transcendental imperative in the work we are seeing today among his thirty-five paintings and seventeen sculptures.
In these productions, the artist reveals the anthropological influence of the Aztec Indians and the primitive heritage of the African nation of Benin. Yet his work also shows the influence of Picasso, adopted to the Hevesi style.
To sum up, Michael Hevesi’s personality as an artist, goes beyond the representative world, into a world which he converts into an exacerbated, often exacerbated expressionism and unleashed aggressiveness.
