Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto

Note:

Balint Zsako was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1979 and received his BFA from Ryerson University (Toronto) in 2002. In his practice, he uses watercolor and ink on paper to depict a multitude of intertwining characters while embracing themes such as family, mythology, sex, and the body.

Zsako’s art has been likened to illuminated manuscripts, as the delicate lines are combined with very simple, archetypal themes. However, bodies twist in unusual and erotic positions, as if the subjects are from another, more twisted universe. This adds an element of the surreal and the bizarre while introducing historical symbolism into the contemporary moment. Zsako moved his practice to New York where he continues to create his sinister and quirky drawings.
