Borsach - Bors István

„My aim is to create allegoric painting and abstract lyricism. This is LEA, Lyrical Expressive Allegory, the painting of sensitivity. The unhindered reflection of contours and colours to the world.”

 I was born is Csorna (Hungary) in 1975. I was influenced by my actor father’s contemporary painter friends. I draw and paint since childhood.  These were the famous eighties. As I youngster I was greatly influenced by the painters of Győr such as Tóvári Tóth István and Barabás László and naturally the new wave and the style from the West.I was a painter scholar in Paris in 1994, and wanted to stay. My paintings were exhibited in Mednyánszky Gallery from 1998 in Budapest and I have regular exhibits in the Art Ten Gallery.

Later I have finished medical school in Budapest in 2001, since then I have been working as a spinal surgeon.

We founded the Figurative Attack Project and Performance together with other young artists in 2000, which emphasised the lagging behind of the national „modern” art. In 2001 I became closely acquainted with Endre Szász’s work, a Hungarian painter-graphic artist and his professional technique enthralled me. Later, his widow who used to be his manager, Lula Szász discovered my work and this paved my career further on.

My first solo exhibit  was in 2004 in the Stefánia Gallery, and then together with other artists in Balatonlelle. Together with Endre Szász we exhibited in 2010 in Sopron, in 2012 Ajka and Miskolc (The Night of the Arts). In 2012 I exhibited at an International Exhibit in Prague, togethet with other artists.

A characteristic painting following or just observing and acknowledging the trends. The paintings depict the painter and the style. It’s out of fashion to say: Isn’t that a Borsach on the wall? This is not only because style and character is lacking but slowly the wall as well. Still the need must exist to own a piece of art that one can take home and display, the creation being not only a self-fulfilling irony on the wall of a gallery, where sometimes they smell of perspiration, at least I sincerely hope so.
