Ilona Lovas, Anna Makovecz and Villő Turcsány from Hungary The exhibition of three Hungarian artists, representing three different generations:
Ilona Lovas’s works examine the metamorphosis of material, body and spirit. These evergreen topics of art are translated into the language of contemporary mediums such as installation, photo and video.
Anna Makovecz, The creation of her works is built on folk and popular art. The mediums, techniques (wall hangings, pillows, embroidery) refer the engagement of material/body and emotions; also reflect the ancient magic character of the art work (healing, incantation).
Villő Turcsány’s sensitive forms are concentrated on relationship of spiritual and material, the visualization of the essence of soul. The secrets of the intensity of her installations are the sculptural vision, musical thinking and the harmonic balance of these structures. (She will be present at the Finissage Ceremony)

– The artist MD Deleep Franco Swiss,
has presented his show under the aegis of India Art Fair. Influenced by Marcel Duchamp, his artistic work may be identified as sculpture, but, it actually manifests rather through hybridization and through the symbolization of simplest forms. With this view, he desires to participate in this particular ambiance that permeates through the atmosphere of India and attempts to translate and share emotions and sensations through these intermediaries.
– Brigitta Hegedűs
