Gathering

Born in 1989 in Pécs, Hungary, Lives and works at Csobánka, Hungary. Akos Ezer was graduated from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2014. Ezer’s works are highly recognised by the elongated and twisted characters which filled the large scale canvas. They are intricately intertwined with each other in a flattened composition, sometimes blending into plants, smoke, water, or everyday scenes like camouflage. These works express the complicated feelings of the younger generation who are bewildered by the ever changing and expanding modern society. These expressions are detailed in the characters’ facial expressions, fashions, background details, and accessories, hinting their thoughts to the audiences.
