Márta Kucsora
Contemporary Artist
Márta Kucsora is a renowned Hungarian artist who draws attention through her monumental abstraction. Over the years Kucsora’s art has increasingly transformed to expressive, fairly poetic abstraction, particularly in the form that is best exemplified by movements and material experimentation. Her ever-larger paintings display nearly the complete spectrum of colors seen in the universe, formed in such fluid arrangements that appear to be the result of chance. The viewer can find roots in abstract expressionism in Kucsora’s work which was deeply influenced by the 20th century US-American artists Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.
