7 Billion Human Brains, or So - Exhibition of László feLugossy

It is not possible to separate the creative oeuvre of László feLugossy, living in Sárospatak, into individual periods, we can rather group his works around re-emerging motifs.

He is the typical representative of Eastern European underground, within his artistic researches, that tears through the frames of the traditional genres, sound-verses, raw-meat-compositions, happenings, performances, ready-mades, objects and environments also indicate his diversity. In his own style the direct object-cult of pop art often combines with the plain-spoken and sexual symbol-system of graffiti. feLugossy builds up a unique universe, rich in associations, from the mixture of typical near-earth rustic and philistine world, the deflated folklore and second class modernism. Besides fine arts he also deals with literature, film and music. He is founder of the band A.E.Bizottság and Lajos Vajda Studio of Szentendre.

Parts of the exhibition: “prologue”, “backyard”, “the way”, “experiment”, “happy end of the world”.
