Brigitta Kocsis recent work focused on investigating the shifting concepts of the human body and its environment. Contemporary discoveries in anatomical technologies have profoundly changed how one perceives the human body. Secret Mechanisms explores how technology can alter perception by interacting with the methods and processes involved in how the human body works. Kocsis' interested in the process of finding a place between abstraction and representation through creating elaborate layers of images, patterns and colors on canvas. In Secret Mechanisms she is creating a series of characters with multi-part anatomical and technological allusions with a specific “trade” or “trait” assigned to each character; like dysfunctional poetic super-heroes in a contemporary comic strip. The graphic images are painted in a layered, collage-like style combined with painterly expressions. The tension contained within the bodies of the characters due to the pervasive technologies, communicates a sense of contemporary environment in its fractured state.
