Koronczi Endre

On  December 13 at 18 o’clock the exhibition of visual artist Endre Koronczi opens at the Godot Gallery. It is opened by

Koronczi Endre, as a graphic artist, completed the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. In addition to traditional printing techniques—lithography, screen printing, copper engraving—he also explored the latest replication methods. In his quest for new media and possibilities he was drawn into the realm of computer‑generated prints. The core of this relatively recent technique is that the image manipulated by the computer is not made visible by a printer; instead it is transferred onto photographic stock using a photographic process. As a result the prints are durable and long‑lasting.

The exhibition’s material is drawn from Koronczi’s latest works. The artist has produced quasi‑fashion photographs that, in their appearance and presentation, resemble the advertising posters placed in shops – ones we inevitably see far more often than necessary. Koronczi photographed shoes in impeccably composed advertising settings, but he affixed the word ISTEN to the sole of some and to the top of others. This duality lends the images their thought‑provoking absurdity: how the visual world of advertising collides with weighty, sacred content.

We produced a colourful catalogue for the exhibition, which contains its images.
