Masterwork

Wildstyle

In my work, I combine the raw and loud visual language of graffiti with the refined fragility of glass. Through this contrast, I aim to present graffiti in a new and unusual context, as viewers perceive it differently in a gallery than in the street.
Thesis

From the Streets to the Galleries; The Institutionalization of Graffiti and Street Art in Hungary

In my thesis, I examine the presence, impact, and legitimacy of graffiti and street art within the Hungarian contemporary art scene and institutional art world, focusing in particular on the process through which illegal graffiti artists become regular exhibitors.
