BENCE BÁNHIDI-RÓZSA

BENCE BÁNHIDI-RÓZSA’S MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE SWERVES BETWEEN PAINTING, VIDEO, AND PERFORMANCE, CREATING CONDITIONS FOR BALLISTIC, IMPULSIVE ACTION TO INCINERATE VERBALIZATION AND DEFINITION. RÓZSA PRODUCES WORK THAT BREAKS SLEDGEHAMMERS AND BAKES BREAD WITH GASOLINE, ALLOWING SPONTANEOUS GESTURES AND IRRATIONAL REACTION TO TORCH THE MIND’S SUPPRESSIVE GRIP, FOSSILIZING MOTION IN PHYSICALIZED MEMORY. RÓZSA IS AN ARTIST WHO REJECTS EXPLANATION (WRITING THIS BIO FEELS ABRASIVELY COUNTER-INTUITIVE), SO THE ONLY PROPER WAY TO FINISH A DESCRIPTION ON HIS SERIES OF BRILLIANT EXPLOSIONS IS IN HIS WISE WORDS: “KEEP ON FUCKIN’ IT.”
