Tinged with mischief and joy, Szabolcs Bozó unveils a fantastical sub-aquatic world.

When painting an original artwork for Art Basel Miami, Bozó was inspired by Ocean Drive. The beach, vivid architecture and neon lights all inform his underwater scene. Characters swimming through the piece began as sketches rooted in the artist’s Hungarian heritage. Influences spanning animation, folklore and mythology emerge in their unusual characteristics.

Treating each hand-finished edition as an original work, Bozo gets lost in the textural brushstrokes he adds whilst working from his studio floor. Each footprint or pawprint from his dog is left on the surface as ‘imperfections’ that are integral to his practice.

“Everyone digests art differently. Although I’m the one making the work, I don’t want to force my perspective on someone else and taint their enjoyment of it.”

Behind the scenes

Szabolcs Bozó2 collaborationsSzabolcs Bozó’s fluid approach to painting and drawing encapsulates the freedom of youth with refreshing honesty. The energetic creatures morph between human, animal and friendly monster, often with multiple heads and limbs. The self-taught artist has a profoundly intuitive understanding of colour. Despite using single-colour blocks, each one is brimming with variations in texture and tonality: wide repetitive brushstrokes are set against brisk lines added with oil stick along with thick dollops of paint which shine lustrously as if freshly squeezed from the tube. When painting on canvas, Bozó works on the floor, meaning footprints and accidental smudges are left on the surface. These ‘imperfections’ are integral to his practice.
