’Farsang Sándor has worked on his characteristic language, his unique postmodern world often reminding the viewer of graffiti and comic strips for many years.

He met pop-art at collage in the 60's. He soon overcame the fashionable abstract expressionism and became involved in surnaturalism and figuralism.

According to his works, the most important influences of his life occurred at the location of his youth: the border of St. Stephen Park and Angyalföld in Budapest. These locations also recorded in photos and the memories linked to them are inexhaustible sources of his works.' (ÉS Pápai Emese)

The Arts Museum of the Town salutes the artist who is 60 years old this year. The drawing exhibition of Farsang Sándor opens in the framework of the 8th International Biennial of Győr.
