Art Plus Science

EE Fine Ar 7 Cobble Yard

EE Fine Art is pleased to present a solo exhibition of outstanding work by Hungarian artist Prokop Igor Jenő as part of The Cambridge Science Festival. A fascinating selection of paintings and glassware will be on display between 29th April and 14th May in the heart of Cambridge, just behind the Grafton Centre. Describing himself as a ‘biologist-artist’ it is easy to see the part science plays in his painting and glass work. Originally he studied biology and drawing, qualifying as a biology teacher in 1978. He went on to further studies in biology as well as philosophy, film aesthetics and design, the influences of which can be seen in his work. His paintings are explosive capturing moments, as if under a microscope, of impulsive creation and implosion. They are alive with organic natural forms, painted precisely and with scientific accuracy, the defined outlines reminiscent of cell membranes. His fused glass bowls are less fitful, reflecting the natural forms that he sees around him and on his travels; they still have the feel of particles coming together to form a whole. This exhibition is also featured on the Natural History Website and is part of the Darwin 200 celebrations.
