After seven years planning it, since yesterday Friday 6th of May, Mary Domart and Jose Rizo finally exhibit their paintings together, in Hungary.
For two weeks their works will be shown in Nagykovácsi´s House of Culture (Örégiskola/Közósségi Ház és Könyvtár). Set in a mixed disposition (one and one), the viewer can have a perception of their long and legendary friendship.
Even if their paintings are individual, and depict their own separate experiences (Mary and her husband Lewis´s traveler lives in Hungary, Poland, Barcelona and soon Australia, and José´s life in Budapest) one can easily get their so "Mexican-expatriate modus vivendi" of their last decade. The title of the exhibition "Cada Grito in Budapest" (Every Shout in Budapest) refers to the Mexican national celebration of Independence, the 16th of September (1810), that every year the Mexican embassy organizes followed by a party, in which the two artists met for the first time and started talking about their arts; thus, year by year, in these celebrations of "El Grito" (short for El Grito De Independencia) they were meeting along with the Mexican comunity in Hungary and talked about how good it would be to paint/exhibit together one day...
