Márta Kucsora (Hungary 1979) is a contemporary artist, known primarily for her large-scale abstract paintings. Kucsora had solo shows at Galerie Melbye-Konan (Hamburg, Germany), Postmasters Gallery, the Kalman Maklary Fine Arts, the Kunsthalle in Budapest (Hungary) and the Kepes Institute (Eger, Hungary). She was included in museum shows at 21C Museum Bentonville, Hungarian National Gallery and Ernst Museum. In 2006, she co-founded the Budapest Art Factory and runs an International Artist Residency Program there.[1]
Kucsora graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts degree (MFA) from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, and also attended Montclair State University’s MFA program (2005-2006).[2]
Works
Magda Sawon describes Kucsora’s works as heavily influenced by twentieth-century female artists, describing her art as "Resonating across time with Pollock's action, Frankenthaler's fluidity, 1980's Richter's abstract spatiality, and contemporary gestural abstraction's referentiality, Kucsora's update of brushless action paintings invariably reflects the performative process of their making. With a Polke-like penchant for experimentation, Kucsora expands her materialist repertoire of painterly media in her chemical "kitchen."[3]
In 2021, Kucsora presented her ten most significant works at Postmasters Gallery, New York. Her works highlighted the special use of materials, and her so-called continuous technique.[4]
