Márton Nemes

Annka Kultys Gallery is pleased to present Márton Nemes: Ghosting Love. This is the gallery’s inaugural solo exhibition of London-based Hungarian artist Márton Nemes’ new paintings since he joined the gallery earlier this year. Ghosting Love will coincide with fellow Hungarian, and Nemes’ tutor at Budapest’s University of Fine Arts, Dóra Maurer’s current retrospective survey at Tate Modern.

Márton Nemes (b. 1986, Székesfehérvár, Hungary) is a multimedia artist based in London, creating paintings, sculptures, installations and sounds. He received an M.F.A. from Chelsea College of Arts, London in 2018. Initially inspired by the architecture of Budapest, a city that he has spent the majority of his life residing in, Nemes’s practice is rooted in the colourful abstraction of buildings. Since this early work, and after moving to London, Nemes has been heavily influenced by techno subcultures, continuing to create abstracted colourful works whilst attempting to duplicate the atmosphere and experience of rave culture, creating a disintegration and rearrangement of the pictorial state. Made using a range of materials, Nemes’s artworks are eager to expand and bend, referencing the escapist counter cultures associated with rave scenes, creating multisensory, diverse experiences.
