Istvan Orosz
International Jury
Born 1951, Hungarian graphic artist, illustrator, poster designer, and an animated film maker. He was trained as a graphic designer at the University of Arts and Design in Budapest. After graduation in 1975 he began to deal with theatre as a stage designer and animated film. Later when poster came to the center of his interest also made mainly theatre, movie and exhibition posters. Under the influence of Eastern-European pro-democratic movement he drew some political posters as well. His individual graphic works of art are often related to postmodernism by archaic forms, art historical references, stylistic quotations and playful self-reflection. Themes of the natural sciences, especially of geometry and optics appear in most of his works. He is also concerned with the theories of vision and sight such as the way the beholder’s hypothetical expectations influence the visual and empirical perception of spatial constructions. He is likely to experiment with the extremes, paradoxes of the representation of the perspective to create the illusion of space. Also he does experiements to renew the techniques of anamorphosis when he distorts the pictures in such a way that it can only be seen from a particular aspect or in such a way that its new layer of meaning only reveals by the interposition of reflective surfaces. Orosz is a regular participant in international art exhibitions, poster biennials, symposiums and filmfestivals. Film director at the Pannonia Film Studio in Budapest, professor at University of West Hungary in Sopron, co-founder of D.O.P.P. designer society, and Hungarian Poster Association. He was elected to the Alliance Graphique Internationale and the Hungarian Academy of Arts and Letters. He has been awarded many times including: 1990 Gold Medal at the Biennial of Graphic Design, Brno / 1991 First Prize at the International Poster Biennial, Lahti / 1991 Main Prize of “Mediawave” Film Festival, Győr / 1994 Icograda-prize at the International Poster Show, Chaumont / 2000 Creative Distinction Award of European Design Annual, Dublin / 2001 Gold medal at the Annual Exhibition of Society of Illustrators, New York City/ 2007 Pro Ludo Ring, Budapest / 2007 Plakat Kunst Hof Ruettenscheid Prize, Essen / 2011 Kossuth Award, Budapest Utisz (pronounced: Outis, means ‘Nobody’), his pseudonym is used since 1984 and it was also Odyssey’s feigned name in the well-known affair with the Cyclops that ended in the blinding of the monster’s only eye. According to Orosz’s symbolic and ironic name, his art is a kind of attack on the eye. Welcome Istvan to the International Panel of Jurors View More: www.istvanorosz.com
