Figurative Abstracts exhibition

Olivér Szax was born in Esztergom in 1975. His first master was the painter Ernő Tolvaly, who gave him a strong professional grounding in the field of conceptualist painting. These experiences and his master's vision determined his early minimalist-geometrical and later realistic series of paintings, which mixed elements of realism with abstraction. In his most recent works, shown in the restaurant, the conceptualist approach was reinvigorated, but he took a departure from traditional painting, seeking and constantly experimenting with new means of expression, to create a unique and individual symbolism.
