Tibor Lazar

I reconstruct and transform idealized visual codes from the great historic eras. I attempt to follow the changes they go through, manipulate them and with them, from a more distant position, in terms of time and history. At times, I play with the canons of the past, treating them with nostalgia or irony, aware of their changeability and instability. To achieve this, I use the tools of the movements of the margins, often using spray paint and other materials for expression that are favoured by these movements. My hope is to establish a sort of meeting between seemingly opposing esthetic and art strategies in my works. The turn of the century and the culture of street art, two very distant and, at first glance, different worlds meet and intertwine in my works. I attempt to find the connections between the past and the present – their parallels and collisions.
