The mission
FELIX Kitchen&Bar is more than just a restaurant: it is a full-fledged contemporary art space. It is traditional, yet modern, passionate about premium gastronomy, bar culture, quality ingredients and art.
Fortune, harmony, liberty are all part of the name, and Felix is with us more than ever.
AQVA ART COLLECTION
FELIX Kitchen&Bar named after Miklós Ybl’s only son, Felix, evokes the legendary past in our contemporary times.
The heart of the pumping station was the boiler room, formerly the exhibition space of the Ybl Buda Creative House. Today it bears the name AQVA and has evolved into a community scene that embraces both gastronomy and contemporary art.
The aim of our periodically renewed art exhibition is to reach and address a wider audience - not only experts and amateurs of art - through collaborations with various artists, gallerists and art collectors.
The AQVA Art Collection’s ninth exhibition, Fragments of Man: Strength & Shadow, invites viewers to reflect on the diverse and often contradictory aspects of masculinity.
This exhibition offers a journey through male identity, encouraging a reexamination of its societal, historical, and personal dimensions.
The exhibition is organized into five thematic sections. The first, Mythology and Historical Archetypes, highlights figures who embody ideals of endurance and sacrifice, shaping cultural conceptions of masculinity. The Symbols of Power section presents works that explore societal expectations of masculinity and the inner conflicts they create. Crisis and Vulnerability offers an introspective look at midlife challenges and the emotional struggles of the modern man. The Fluid Masculinity section challenges traditional stereotypes, emphasizing the fluid and multifaceted nature of male identity. Finally, Fatherhood and Legacy examines the impact men leave through familial connections.
Featuring a diverse range of artworks – from paintings and sculptures to photography and installations – this exhibition encourages visitors to reconsider stereotypes associated with male roles and explore new perspectives on masculinity.
Our motto: The Art of Sharing. We believe that art, like our food and our lives, achieves its fullest value when experienced together.
Artistic Coordination: Dóra Molnár, the curator of FELIX AQVA, György Pálfi art collector and Zsolt Petrányi art historian
