The "Nagy Imre" Gallery

     The "Nagy Imre" permanent Gallery, situated on 1 Koteles Samuel Street, was reopened in 2001. Initially, it was housed by the "Teleki" library, between 1959-1986.
     Those who would like to enrich themselves with authentic spiritual values may visit this gallery, an artistic universe evocative of inner energies.
     Nagy Imre's personality was influenced by an unusual experience. The fact that he spent his life in Jigodin, a village located somewhere near Harghita, made him aware of the picturesqueness of those places, interwoven with the social realities. All these facts would be transposed in his vast creation, in an original way.
     As a result of him handling well different technical methods (the skill of painting in water colours, that of painting in oil, or in tempera), Nagy Imre was capable of catching unawares and of perpetuating the riches of light and colour found in the Cicului Depression. Sensing the spade remarkably, he transposed the elements of nature either into harmonizations full of lyrical vibrations, or into rhythmical cadences, indicating, thus, a grandeur full of life. The human beings are transposed in an always fresh and full of life nature, being surrounded by the murmur of the water, the gentle breeze of the wind, the reflexes of the plants, the callings of the cosmical infinity. There is nothing magnificent related to these, and still, there is something very profound and close to our souls.
     With a strong pantheistical feeling, Nagy Imre influenced the belief in the positive aspects of life, something defining for a creator with a strong love for beauty, truth and essence.
The self-portraits (which create a separate cycle) reveal the intransigency character, the vigour of his character and the clearness of his thought, through the firmness of the drawing and the tension of the colours.
