Introduction
„ I’m neither extreme, nor fanatic
simply free”

Miklós
Kolozsvári Grandpierre was born in 1950. By the age of 14 he is already
engaged in learning artistic anatomy and different artistic techniques.
In 1975 he becomes a member of the Studio of Young Artists (Fiatal Művészetek
Stúdiója). In the year 1980 he gains admittance to the Community of Copper
Engravers (Rézkarcoló Művészek alkotóközössége) with the support of such
noted artists as Gyula Hincz, János Kass and Ádám Würtz. He is a member
of the Hungarian Artists Association since 1982.
He started exhibiting abroad
in 1980, his last international exhibition took place in Vienna in 2014.
His art is inspired by surrealism,
his topics are centered around human beings. The form of his characters,
the inner human traits, the sharp and exact presentation of characteristics
invites the viewer to enjoy his works without a necessity to depict age
or boundaries. The choice of topics is merely limited by his inner judgement
of values. A figural colourist painter with a favor for symbols. A graphical
artist and engraver with an undepletable fairytale world.
His massive sculptures are
carved from marble. On more than one occasion mythological stories unravel
from his sculptures.
The crystal carvings are
made into crystals or semiprecious stones. Their size can best be measured
in millimeters. Only the silhouettes of the tiny shapes exist, their inside
has been removed through a small hole. These are sculptures that exist
only virtually, enclosed in the crystal.
It is a unique set of abilities:
the hand, used to carving the heavy marble, yet travels lightly over the
canvas and still so precise, that it would carve into crystals not bigger
than a thumbnail.
