DESCRIPTION
 
"Vile Innocence" is a historical artwork by Hungarian painter Att Cowatch, who shows us his skills back in 1990, when this great artwork was done and now displayed at the Heroes, Real Human Beings" Group Show at the Toolip Art Gallery in Budapest.
And it comes again,
 
"It grays out the colors, debases the fetuses.
 
And now it will be the lord of the earth, The vile innocence.
 
Be careful a bit,
 
Make love a bit.
 
The relay passed on must not be bloody,
 
Make way for happiness so the legacy is joy.
 
Don't be afraid to laugh at passing away,
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away.
 
Where it died, but may it not be wasted,
The plane also brought flowers sometimes.
 
(Att Cowatch)
 
BIOGRAPHY
Att CoWatch is a creative artist embodying the dual dynamics of art.
 
He stepped onto the world stage in Nagyszőlős, at the foot of the Blflifeack Mountain.
 
Spending his childhood in his grandfather’s house, he encountered paints and art for the first time, which have since remained defining aspects of his life.
 
During his school years, he was introverted, yet inspired by art books; he explored the exciting world of art. Following his own path, he drew inspiration from classical artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Salvador Dalí, where he found his own artistic style.
 
Despite initial setbacks, he remained faithful to his artistic passion. A turning point in his life was his military service, where he faced challenges and constraints. Nonetheless, even amidst military conditions, he found the opportunity for creation, painting with a fellow inmate in the barracks’ boiler room. This period strengthened his determination and perseverance in art.
 
Returning home, further challenges awaited him, but he did not give up. He worked and struggled to support his family while remaining true to his art. Amidst difficulties, he found time and energy for creation, which served as an artistic expression, refuge, and spiritual support.
 
The story of Att CoWatch and art are a testament to the triumph of determination and perseverance over adversity.
 
Art is not just a form of expression but a way of life and a tool for self-realization.
