Exhibition of Debrecen-born, Munkácsy Prize-winning Painter Opens

The opening of Gabriella Nagy’s exhibition “Romanticism in Order” will be held at the Bényi Gallery on Thursday the 26th of September at 6:00 p.m. 

Gabriella Nagy was born in Debrecen in 1968. She has a constantly renewed, yet consistently building, characterful painting practice, marked by significant solo exhibitions, public collection acquisitions and professional awards. Her paintings are characterised by masterly brushwork, open vision and perception, and reflected visuality. She explores reality through surreal elements and classical realist representation, incorporating existential theories and personal observation. Her works create sensual spectacles, evoking private stories and exploring new forms within the traditional landscape genre.

The artist studied at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts from 1991 to 1996 and has since mastered traditional oil on canvas painting techniques. She won the Strabag Painting Prize and received a Lisbon scholarship from the Budapest Gallery. Her works are in collections of Strabag, Hungarian National Gallery, Déri Museum, and private collectors. She received the Munkácsy Award in 2004.

The exhibition will be opened by art historian Lilla Szoboszlai, with Áron Pető on accordion. 

Until the 24th of  October 2024, the exhibition is open free of charge at the Kölcsey Centre from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, and until 7:00 p.m. during evening events.
