IN CURRENT SHOW The Corridors Gallery at Hotel Henry Fall Show Colorful Composition 1, 1987 Paper, tempera, ink, staples, mixed media 72 × 72 in; 182.9 × 182.9 cm **Contact us about a wholesale framing quote The selection of work included in the Corridor Gallery, represents a large span of time, included pieces from Bajus’ first solo exhibition in Slovakia. Consistent throughout, is Bajus' belief that "beauty is everywhere, not just in nature, we just need to open our eyes and listen with our hearts". Frequently, the work is created using discarded detritus or industrial remnants. Bajus transforms these unassuming materials into intricate, elegant, impactful objects that deal with color, surface, texture, shadow and spatial relationships. These same works call attention to environmental concerns Bajus notes, “nothing ever goes away, rather, everything stays, the same or in slightly altered form, but still remains.” Bajus' work reveals the hidden beauty inherent in even the most mundane materials.
