6.00 pm
FREE 17-19 Cockspur Street, London SW1Y 5BL Liszt Institute London is delighted to present Cross-Section, our first group show, bringing together 17 Hungarian artists. Embarking on an exciting new journey at the Liszt Institute London, as we open our renewed gallery space to the wider public, Cross-Section marks our inaugural group exhibition, presenting a compelling and diverse selection of artworks. The Érd Collective was born in the rapidly expanding commuter town of Érd, located on the outskirts of Budapest. With no established traditions, renowned predecessors, or a thriving local art scene to provide a foundation for a small group of artists to collaboratively organise artistic work, it is a truly exceptional artists’ colony. Founded in 2009 by 8 painters, with a commitment to artistic integrity, the group deliberately distanced itself from stylistic trends and commercial pressures. Over the years, close personal relationships have formed among the 13 to 15 artists who participate annually. These bonds, coupled with the distinctive and authentic artistic voices of each member, have profoundly shaped the work produced during their residencies. The exhibition features a rich spectrum of painterly approaches — from non-figurative to representational, constructive to expressive — each driven by individual internal impulses and shaped by diverse stylistic directions. Beyond fostering collaborative artistic practice, one of the primary aims of the collective has been the creation of a contemporary art collection drawn from participants’ works. Today, this carefully curated and ever-growing collection — now comprising over 150 pieces — offers a focused and insightful cross-section of contemporary Hungarian painting. We are proud to showcase the paintings of 17 artists from the Érd Collective at the Liszt Institute London. Join us for the opening celebrations of Cross-Section on 5 June, 6.00-8.00 pm...
