Sándor Bátai

painter | 1955, Veszprém

He completed his secondary school studies in Székesfehérvár and then he worked as a scenery painter for the Gergely Csiky Theatre in Kaposvár. His oeuvre has been fundamentally inspired by the art of Péter Donáth and Gyula Pauer. Besides graphic art works and paintings, he also makes artist books and installations, and he has also been dealing with dipped and cast paper projects since the 1990s. He is a representative of lyrical archaism. He had solo exhibitions in the Vaszary Gallery in Kaposvár in 2015 and in the Műcsarnok in 2019. He received a lifetime award announced by the Minister of Human Resources in 2018. His works can be found in private collections and in public collections (Rippl-Rónai Museum, Kaposvár; Saint King Stephen Museum, Székesfehérvár; József Katona Museum, Kecskemét) alike.
