FPDV / ARTIST PRESENTATION / Tamás Szvet / Hongrie / by Károly Sándor Pallai

21.10.1982. Gyula, Hungary
Represented by VILTIN Gallery, Budapest > http://www.viltin.hu/ 

Tamás Szvet  always starts with a conceptual question and looks for solutions that try to give an answer to the questions of art theory through the applied techniques. The  convergence of science and art  is  a central focus in his work.  He  plays with technological invention in  order to convey his  fascination with fields of energy and our place in the  world, through levitation,  illusion, reality and non-reality and where  the thin veil between these lie. His working process employs a wide range of techniques.
Szvet works call for viewers’ participation. His artworks can be experienced as a discovering of the phenomenon. The appearance of his works is often close to miracles: he shows invisible forces, or plays with the limits of our perceptions. He is interested in communicating with our environment, as Szvet places great emphasis on the interaction of the artwork and the viewer. Lengthy art historical and scientific researches precede the creating activity, so research becomes a basic act in his work.
Szvet graduated from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts with a specialization in sculpture in 2007. His work has been exhibited at numerous international venues and he has participated in artist residencies in Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Finland and in France. He won the Talentum Prize  - founded by the Hungarian Academy of Science -  in 2010. 
He started an artistic research at the Doctoral School of  the Hungarian University of Fine Arts Budapest in 2009 and carried on his PhD research at the Department of Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam,  in the Netherlands in 2011.
