The work of Hungarian author Istvan Orosz is just a gift for those who enjoy looking at optical illusions. Each of his paintings contains a small, but very important secret: to see the true meaning of the picture, you need to have … a mirror with you.
Istvan Oros was born in 1951 in the Hungarian city of Kecskemet. He is known as a graphic artist and animator, but the author's works in the field of optical art, and especially anamorphosis, are of the greatest interest. Anamorphosis, according to Wikipedia, is a design created in such a way that, as a result of optical displacement, a certain form, which is initially inaccessible for perception as such, folds into an easily readable image. Anamorphosis was invented in China, and in Europe it was most widespread in the work of Renaissance artists.
Thus, the image created using the anamorphosis technique, at first perceived by the viewer as meaningless and, perhaps, even ugly, under certain conditions takes on clear and understandable outlines. In the case of Istvan Oros, such a condition is the presence of a conical or cylindrical mirror. Placed in the right place in the original picture, the mirror transforms it into a three-dimensional image - independent or complementary to the original picture and being a part of it.
Istvan Oros regularly participates in all the most important international biennials in the field of graphic arts. His work is shown in individual and group exhibitions in Hungary and abroad. Istvan is one of the founders of the art group D. O. P. P., he also collaborates with Pannonia Film as a director and lectures at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest.
