Előd ORBÁN
(1984, Marosvásárhely / Târgu Mureș, RO) sculptor
He completed his studies in 2009 at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, where his masters were Péter Gálhidy, Zoltán Karmó and Pál Kő. He won the Barcsay Prize of the university in 2007 and was recognised with the Hungary Emerging Artist award in 2019. He has taken part in several solo and group exhibitions, including the ones in the Parthenon Friese Hall of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (2019), the Viltin Gallery (2021) and the Art9 Gallery (2023). In his art, he recontextualises the conventional use of Carrara marble, dominated by majesticity and exclusivity, in a fresh and contemporary language.
