Biography

Attila Kondor was born in 1974 in Budapest. In 2000 he graduated as a graphic from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, where he studied with András Baranyai. In 1998 he was awarded the "Lithography is 200 Years Old” prize. In 2000 he was the recipient of the Béla Kondor-award, and in 2007 he received the "Scholarship of Rome" award.

In his paintings we mostly see intense perspectives and reflections. The past becomes present, and time becomes infinite. Kondor's landscapes are unique, as they all lack human presence, which makes the spectator reflect on uneventful immobility. In Kondor’s painted spaces perspective is regularly tilted, since the artist frequently inserts axonometric lines when rendering architectural structures.

Attila Kondor is one of the most remarkable figures of the new generation of painters in Hungary. In the progressive 21st century, Kondors static visual appearance forces the recipient to stop and contemplate, so the artist breaks out of the never ending information flow by going back to the traditions of calm painting.
