The graphic artist György Szőke (4 May 1954, Balatonszabadi) lives in Balatonszárszó. The basic motifs of his graphics are formed by strange gestures that run free. This graphic element is shaded by fine tones. It symbolizes emotional outburst in an atmospheric field, as well as a dynamic sound. Classic methods of graphics, elegant solutions characterize his art that balances between sober meditation and emotional outbursts.
