Emese Bács

fine artist | 1978, Brasov, RO

She has been living in Budapest since 1997. She graduated in painting from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2004. Her masters were József Gaál and Dóra Maurer. The thrown-away object applications on her paintings add an upcycling aspect to her art. She has had solo exhibitions (Budapest, Kaposvár, Bucure.ti, Győr) and group shows since 2011. Prizes: Barcsay Prize (2004), Béla Gruber Prize (2005), Ozone Green Prize (2014). Her works can be found in public collections (Municipal Art Museum, Győr; Hungarian Cultural Centre, Bucure.ti; Collegium Hungaricum, Vienna; Vaszary Gallery, Kaposvár; Museum of Pesterzsébet) and in private collections alike.
