PEEP-HOLE (Self-portrait) Painting

Agnes Verebics is an emerging artist from Hungary. She was born in Enying, graduated in 2006 at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest / painter faculty. She is one of the most outstanding talents of the Hungarian contemporary art scene, whose works – in spite of her young age – have been shown in several galleries, including Ludwig Museum, the Essl Museum and ENA Viewing Space, Budapest. Her works have also been selected into the Torn Curtain exhibition connected to Art Basel Miami, which has become one of the biggest contemporary art fair worldwide. Human layers, the hidden corners of the personality, experiments to find ourselves behind our passions – these are the themes explored in Agnes Verebics’ (1982, Enying/Hungary) work. The forms of the shocking, powerful works vary. However, instead of the cute and charming little images we meet puffed expressions and frightened looks.
