Soft corners

The solo exhibition of Márton Perlaki is the first presentation of a larger collection of works created in the recent years, consisting of photographs, large chalk drawings, abstract photograms and luminograms.

Perlaki’s artistic practice is characterized by the duality of a meticulously pre-planned precise editing process and a peculiar, playfully bizarre attitude. His unusual portraits, staged still lives or gestures of highlighting certain details detached from their environment often create a space for perplexity and the unexpected.

Compared to his previous works, the works presented at Trafó Gallery mark a clear and bold opening in the direction of a more self-analyzing, more personal voice that also re-examines family relations, and in which control over creative processes dissolves and the unpredictable is given space.
