Stefan Bertalan Tangram-Kopf, 1985

The work is characteristic of the Stefan Bertalan's near obsession with the growth and decomposition of biological structures, creating with his drawings meticulous visual records of a plant’s life cycle. Often he identified with these processes and integrated his likeness. His drawings are like seismographs, endlessly recording biological processes. They are half-way between a diary entry and a scientist’s notes, personal and speculative, filled with diagrams and theoretical reflections.
