SZIRTES, János
artist
(8 Dec. 1954, Budapest –)
1975–1977: Graphics major at the School of Fine Arts, Bratislava; 1977-1980: Graphics major at the Fine Arts College of Budapest; 1980–1983: Specialization, master: Miklós Erdély, 1978–1983: member of the Indigo Group 1980: member of the Society of Young Fine Artists Studio; 1988: member of the Internationales Künstler Gremiumn, and the Graphics Group of Szentendre, furthermore the head of the Lajos Vajda Cultural Society. 1989: the senior lecturer of the Industrial Arts College of Budapest; 1991: member of the Colony of artists located in Szentendre; 1997: Associate professor at the Industrial Arts College of Budapest. 1982: Béla Kondor Award (Fine Arts College, Budapest); 1983–1984: Society of Young Fine Artists Studio scholarship; 1984–1987: Derkovics scholarship; 1986: Award of the 10th National Aquarelle Biennial, Eger; 1989: Scholarship of the Roman-Hungarian Academy; 1990: Munkácsy Award; 1994: work scholarship from the Künstlerhaus of Salzburg. Szirtes was the director and participant of a number of performances produced from 1972 onwards. Exhibitions of his have regularly been held in the in the Várfok Gallery in Budapest. His work is characterized by its diversity and variety of technique. Techniques such as aquarelle, graphics, oil, carbon, spray, happening, music and sound may all be encountered in his works. Szirtes is thus considered an experimental artist. During the course of the 1980’s he painted new eclectic, expressive movements, his paintings were constituted of fabric-like surfaces covered with intense colors, which were then coated with a further layer of black and white signs. During this period masks constituted magical, ritual elements and instruments in his performances, the accompanying music was often quite articulate and ecstatic. From the beginning of the 1990’s he began producing, finely textured, chromed “archaic” prints depicting human beings. He covered most of his works with carbon, i.e. in a similar manner to the magical and ritual materials used ancient cultures. He often made use of fire, smoke, and carbon in the production of his works. During the second half of the 1990’s he once again began producing grand-scale aquarelles. The act of painting itself also played a key part in the art of Sirtes, since painting itself constituted the subject- matter of many of his works. One-Man Shows:
