Péter Ujházi was born in Székesfehérvár in 1940, but his art has been shaped by his experiences abroad, without being confined within the boundaries of any Hungarian or international artistic movements. From 1968 onwards, he spent several stays in Paris, where he was inspired by some of the leading figures of modernism and later on by art brut. Later, his trip to New York in 1999 moved his works towards the visual, and since then he has continued to combine both worlds in his expressive, grotesque and often textual works, which have no technical limits.
The exhibition includes works on paper, based completely out of text, or figurative watercolours, reworked porcelain works, paintings, a sculpture from the 1970s and a self-portrait of the artist, which he has been working on for more than thirty years.
