Zsofi Barabas, Judit Loczi Horvath, Bea Kusovszky, Marton Nemes, and Eszter Poroszlai, each in their own way, represent the legacy of Hungarian artists who lived under the communist grip that deprived them of the same access to art as their peers in the rest of Europe or the United States, and for whom "Abstraction was freedom".  This exhibition, curated by Benoit Manuel, is dedicated to Imre Bak and to those artists who remained to keep the flame of freedom and art alive.

193 Gallery's new group show features Zsofi Barabas, Judith Horvath Loczi, Bea Kusovszky, Marton Nemes and Eszter Poroszlai. Born during the period when an iron curtain divided Europe, these artists have nevertheless evolved in a post-Berlin Wall free world. With the exhibition Abstraction Is Freedom, the 193 Gallery invites you to discover the richness and diversity of Hungarian art, thirty years after a wind of freedom blew over Central and Eastern Europe.
