Dénes Csasznyi (CASSY) ( Óbecse, 5th October, 1967 – ) Hungarian painter and sculptor
He was born in Óbecse. [1], Vojvodina, as the son of István Csasznyi, a sculptor, and Róza Knecht, an art teacher. After completing his high school education and mandatory Yugoslav military service, under parental pressure, he continued his studies at the Technical University in Novi Sad. However, unable to break free from his artistic passion, he interrupted his mechanical engineering studies to apply to the Cyril and Methodius University of Arts in Skopje. Despite successfully passing the entrance exam, he couldn't begin the semester due to the Yugoslav wars. Leaving Yugoslavia behind, he started a new life in Hungary, working as an illustrator [2] at Pannónia Film Studio alongside József Gémes. Later, he worked as a restorer, and meanwhile, he continued sculpting in his own studio. Currently residing and creating in Budapest, he regularly participates in both Hungarian and international exhibitions with his sculptures.
His works generally arise from individual fragments. Instead of a preconceived concept, during the creative process the emphasis is much more on processes and momentary impressions. According to his belief, allowing space for the Muse in this way enables the creation of a perfect whole from details [3]. His creations aim to depict the deeper connections of life, the questions of choice and predestination, the possibilities of understanding ideas, and the intricate web of human relationships. Sacral and mysterious elements also hold great importance in his works [4]
His sculptural technique follows two main directions. A portion of his compositions is crafted using bronze, stone, and wood. Bronze, due to its nobility and purity, is his preferred material. His bronze sculptures often feature the human body as the subject. According to his belief, the visible world is only a part of the Whole, so his sculptures often represent fragments since portraying reality or completeness is impossible.
Another group of his sculptures is made using resin. This technique reflects the endeavor to create something constant with artistic value from transient, changing materials. Solidifying and preserving easily decomposable materials, such as paper, seems to capture a moment of transience and change forever [5]. These creations are bolder, more startling, and more naturalistic, but the theme remains centered on human life, its quality, and contingency.
His painting can also be divided into two main directions. His figurative works mostly revolve around the cycle of life, typically utilizing the figure of a woman. In his non-figurative works, he explores the question of origin. He represents the dilemma between the narrative of the created world ( creation story) as represented by religion and the viewpoint of accidental birth ( Big Bang) according to science. This is portrayed through the interpretation of today's modern world and the binary language of IT.
