Márton Nemes: Techno Zen

Pavilion of Hungary at the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia

Márton Nemes’ work is influenced by techno subcultures; the explosion and rearrangement of the pictorial field gives a psychedelic character to his paintings that evoke the visual atmosphere of today’s nightclubs. Combining painterly and sculptural elements, his multimedia installations create a hypnotic spatial dynamic that propels the viewer from the harshness of the real world into a fluid, dizzying colour field.
