Karnics Tibor képzőművészeti tanulmányokat folytatott. A nyolcvanas évek végétől nagyméretű, elsősorban air brush technikával készült geometrikus képeket alkotott. Érdeklődése a távol-kelet elé fordult, megszakításokkal hét évig élt Thaiföldi falvakban, városokban. Utazásai során számos fotósorozatot készített. Elsősorban a buddhista vallás és kultúra foglalkoztatta (és foglalkoztatja ma is). Szerzetesnek állt. Magyarországra hazatérve a magyarországi Thai nagykövetség fotósaként tevékenykedett. Thaiföldi útjának hatására festészete fordulatot vett. Spirituális, tiszta színekkel megfestett nagyméretű vásznakat készít. Számos nemzetközi és hazai grafikai pályázat nyertese. Jelentősebb önálló kiállításait Frankfurtban, Bangkokban, Budapesten, Pécsen, Békéscsabán és Hévízen láthatta a nagyközönség.

ARTICLES

Tibor Karnics, an artist living in Hévíz, studied art. At the end of the 1980s he started painting

large-size geometric pictures using mostly the air brush technique. His interest turned towards

the Far East and he lived in Thailand for seven years, where he mainly studied the Buddhist

religion and the highly religious Thai culture, which was shaped by it. As a monk he received

the highest initiation. Following his return to Hungary he became the photographer of the

Royal Thai Embassy. Due to the influence of his travels in Thailand his art has changed; he

creates spiritual, large canvasses painted in clear colours. He has been the winner of numerous

international and Hungarian graphical competitions. His major individual exhibitions have

been seen by audiences in Frankfurt, Bangkok, Budapest, and recently in Pécs. During his

travels he has made numerous series of photographs, always with people in the main focus.

The lights, the shadows and the colours only assist in the visualization of the humanity and

the soul, a world of human scale.

Myth and Reality: Festivals and Everyday Life in Thailand - Photographs by Tibor Karnics

Taking a peek into a spiritual society from our secular world has an enormous impact

on a sensitive, open-minded person. This is exactly the kind of opportunity Tibor Karnics

offers us by showing the moments that remain hidden from the tourists who visit Thailand.

Let the pictures take you on a journey through time and space to a world in which time is an

endless circle, since Thai people know that there is always a next life before them.

It is dawning in Thailand. The local monks take their bowls for the food offerings, and

leave the walls of the monastery. They set out on their journey to collect alms, and the young

and old of the village all give food to the ‘Buddha’, since every monk is a personification of

Buddha himself. They kneel and bow their heads in front of the monk and make their

offerings without glancing at them. Raising their hands with their palms touching, they say

their thanks for being able to give. A BLESSING is their reward, which they have earned with

their good deed. This rite is one of the fundaments of Theravada Buddhism. Even today it is

one of the most important duties in every Thai man’s life to go and live in a monastery at least

for a short period.

Spirituality is a part of everyday life; Thai people live together with their religion. A

very special and spectacular but little known manifestation of that is the so-called sak yant, a

ritual tattoo, based on ancient magic. In the monasteries the motives tattooed on the body are

kept in the form of wooden images for copying, each several hundreds of years old,

displaying holy animals, like turtles, tigers, monkeys and elephants. In the process they use

ink or rose oil, but the picture done with the oil will become invisible after the healing of the

wound. It is not the visual picture that matters but the MAGICAL POWER.

In the exhibition we can see several pictures of tattooed people wearing on their bodies

graphics made according to strict rules, which are unusual to the European eye. We see

pictures of the process of tattooing, the places of the Buddhist religion, portraits of Thai

people, everyday faces, rickshaws and girls dressed in festive costumes. The artist has

selected the pictures for the exhibition in Békéscsaba from the works of twenty-five years.
