Puppet elements
Bozo comes from a country with a long and rich history of puppet theater. He has particularly fond memories of the Bobita Puppet Theater in his hometown of Pecs, where his mother used to take him to see puppet shows when he was a child. His favorite Hungarian animations from his childhood, such as Susu the Dragon and TV Maci, were developed from puppet characters.
Qi Yuanlin and Deng Yingying, the curators of the Beijing show, have applied elements of puppet art, such as the colorful curtains, to fill the exhibition space.
Paintings hanging in one of the galleries on the first floor are presented as if on a theater stage. Volcano Mouse and Rat from the Future are looking at each other as if they are in the middle of performing a spectacular play.
In recent years, Bozo has shown his talent to the public through many solo exhibitions, including Busojaras (Hungarian carnival) at Almine Rech Gallery in Brussels last year; The Explorer at Carl Kostyal in London last year; Home Again at L21 Gallery in Palma, Spain, in 2020; and Big Bang at Semiose Gallery in Paris in 2020.
Also, the commercial value of his works is widely recognized with outstanding success at major auction houses.
