SZABOLCS BOZÓ


MARFA INVITATIONAL 2023 | Spring Edition ✨✨✨

Presented by
CARL KOSYÁL | London + Stockholmkostyal

Born in 1992 in Pécs, Hungary, Szabolcs Bozó has risen to become one of the most promising European artists of his generation with his cartoon-ish, playful and highly individualistic artistic style.

Szabolcs Bozó’s oeuvre revolves essentially around the fields of drawing and painting. Completely without inhibition, his iconography displays a regressive and joyously school-boyish attitude, whose more subversive flipside emerges from beneath this apparent innocence. In a short space of time, Bozó has forged a style that is immediately recognizable. His flashily colored zoomorphic creatures are set against a white background that is not always perfectly clean, but whatever the case, the essential idea is to communicate energy, abundance and humor.

Bozó has been the subject of Solo Exhibitions at M Woods, Beijing (2022); Almine Rech, Brussels (2021); Carl Kostyál, London (2021); L21 S’Escorxador, Palma De Mallorca, Spain (2020); and Semiose, Paris (2020). His work has been in numerous Group Exhibitions around the globe. Including WOW Gallery, Hong Kong; Almine Rech, Shanghai; Carl Kostyál, Stockholm; and Ross + Kramer, East Hampton, NY.

Szabolcs Bozó lives and works in London.

MARFA INVITATIONAL is beyond thrilled to announce
a Solo Presentation by

PETER HALLEY


MARFA INVITATIONAL 2023 | Spring Edition ✨✨✨

Presented by
BALDWIN GALLERY | Aspen


Born in 1953 in Manhattan, New York- Peter Halley came to prominence as a central figure of the Neo-Conceptualist movement of the 1980’s East Village. Exhibiting alongside Jeff Koons, Annette Lemieux, Haim Steinbach, Phillip Taaffe, and Steven Parrino, among others. His strict geometric vocabulary of 'prisons', 'cells', and 'conduits' has remained consistent since he first constructed it in the ’80s. Agile studies in discomfort which employ the language of geometric abstraction to explore the organization of social space in the digital era. A sociological diagnostic of the isolating and anonymizing effect of technology on contemporary life- which 'now', in the current moment, feels more relevant than ever.

Beyond his visual vocabulary, Halley is known for his essays, written in the 1980's and 1990's- exploring the influence of burgeoning digital technology on art and culture. From 1996 to 2005, Halley published INDEX magazine .magazine - which included in-depth interviews with the era's most relevant cultural figures in fashion, music, film, and other creative fields. (I recall fondly, waiting eagerly for the arrival of each new issue.)

Throughout Halley's career, he has taught at numerous universities. Including Columbia University, UCLA, and Yale University School of Art Where he served as Director of Graduate Studies in Painting From 2002 to 2011, and made endowed chair, Leffingwell Professor of Painting, in 2010.

Halley’s work has been exhibited extensively around the world. In 2023, the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Mudam), Luxembourg, will present a survey of Peter Halley’s paintings from the 1980s.

Halley is currently the subject of a Solo Exhibition at Modern Art in London 🟦
