A REVIEW OF HIS WORK
The dynamism of intensively coloured facades of urban landscape
The depiction of "cities unseen" thematically belongs to fantasy;
however, his works are the fruit of his original perception of the world
he lived in. Fejes made perfect confusion with his brush, moving certain
forms at his will thus creating his personal reality.
Throwing away a set of conventions belonging to art morphology he denied
the composition of the unity of motifs, played with the perspective and
completely ignored the system of colour articulation in behalf of an
original colour orchestration … Modern artistic sensibility finds
contiguity of his work and the work of Vivin, Benassy, Nervorth, as well
as the work of Klee, Mondrian and Rouault …
