"Levente Baranyai has unremittingly been painting the Portrait of Earth for thirty years. His unique oeuvre made up of some one hundred and fifty paintings is based on an archaeology he has developed. On his canvases we see spaces, landscapes and constructions that can either not be perceived from the surface of Earth or are not there any more because they has been pulled down or have never been constructed – in other words, were destroyed before coming into being. Through his exploratory trenches he leads his viewers by digging up space and time, the known and conjecturable with his artist’s cutter. As all archaeological quests, his expeditions are factual and critical as well. The figures of the past he excavates mobilize human knowledge, the imagination substituting it and the sense of responsibility arising from drawing the consequences." (János Kurdy Fehér)
