[Text available only in English] Forrai Ferenc is a Hungarian artist whose practice revolves around the relationships between line, geometry, space, rhythm, and perception. His work explores interaction, balance, unity, the proportion of positive and negative space, and system-based thinking, engaging with sets, intersections, repetition, and transition. Balancing precise structure with “planned randomness,” he investigates the tension between rules and irregularities, movement and stillness, presence and time.
He works in Budapest at the Artus Contemporary Art Association, and his work is included in collections such as the Szöllősi-Nagy – Nemes Collection (2022). He has received several awards, including the Vízrajz First Prize for Vízvonal, Duna (2023) and the BDH Best Exhibition Award for Négyszöglet (2019).
Since 2011, he has exhibited widely in solo and group shows across Hungary and Europe, presenting series such as Négyszöglet, A Vonal, Időnyomok, Olvasónapló, and Formaváros. His work brings together graphic language, painting, typography, and system processes, creating a unique visual vocabulary that blends geometric precision with poetic sensibility.
