Hi everyone,
Today’s Random Sketchclub is cancelled—we’re painting instead. This time, the walls 😄
And not just the table will get messy, but everything around it too.
However! We’d like to recommend a very exciting program to you all: a 24-hour painting marathon:

If you want, I can make a more hype / event-promo version or add Budapest + gallery context for reach.
Ben Soir – Harmonia Confusionis
A contemporary art exhibition in Budapest, Hungary
Resident independent artist Ben Soir of Start Gallery presents a new body of contemporary artwork where portraits evolve into layered, textured memories. Through these paintings, the personal transforms into a universal experience: the slow interplay of remembering and forgetting, the delicate balance between order and chaos.
Muted tones, irregular regularity, and labyrinth-like networks resist instant interpretation. These works invite the viewer to pause, let the gaze wander, and encounter their own inner memories along the way.
Harmonia Confusionis is both a professional experiment and a personal statement—painting that offers no fixed answers, but leaves questions suspended: what does time preserve of us, and what does it ultimately conceal?
📍 Start Gallery, Budapest, Hungary
📅 October 3, 2025 – 6:00 PM (Opening)
The exhibition is on view until October 23, open on Fridays, during announced guided tours, and by appointment.
Book your visit.
👉 We look forward to welcoming you
Renyagyár Exhibition – Contemporary Artwork in Budapest, Hungary
December 5–19 | Start Gallery
The long-awaited Renyagyár exhibition, planned since the opening of Start Gallery, is now on view in Budapest, Hungary, featuring a bold selection of contemporary artwork by an independent artist.
Renya, a rockstar from Pécs, has been drawing his surroundings for years. His mixed-media works reflect our situations, our emotions, and our lived experiences—helping us process, understand, or simply laugh at them. Following exhibitions by Pulpbrother and Szofink, humor and text-based visuals return to the gallery.
A recurring idea at Start Gallery is that contemporary art is about us. This exhibition embraces absurd humor, sensitivity, and raw honesty, blending elements of Hungarian graphic traditions with comic-style storytelling reminiscent of illustrated tales—where the characters sit around a table… with us, unfortunately 😃
So go ahead—raise your hand if you don’t recognize yourself in at least one Renya piece.
