ATTILA MATA
530 West 25th Street, New York, NY
Attila Mata is a Hungarian-born sculptor whose sculpture has been consistently evolving to reflect changing times, and artist growth. Throughout his career he has experimented with various materials, redefining what it means to be a sculptor in the world of modern contemporary art. After his studies at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, Attila began his work using wood, but has since employed bronze, aluminum, stainless steel and acrylic resin for his designs. Through these changing mediums he aims to express his joy in life’s consistency of changes. His lively sculptures are intriguing, and thought provoking. Each of his innovative art forms elicits a genuine opinion from the viewer, and leaves a lasting impression.
As an artist, Attila is inspired by ancient themes such as sexuality, death, and the gods, as well as literature and other compositions he has studied. His inspiration is infused into one unified feeling, ultimately extending the limits of art and sculpture.
ATTILA MATA ON
I enjoy experimenting with a wide variety of materials and forms; so far I have used wood, bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, and crystal (acrylic resin), which I sometimes paint. As for my subjects, I am interested in ancient themes such as sexuality, death, the gods, etc. In my work, the human body is reduced to and reorganized as a geometric form and structure. I am also attracted to the extreme; if my theme is a god, it must be, for example, Golem with all of his brutal energy. I find abstract themes exciting too, such as the outer and inner surface of the form, use of color on sculpture, design, the structure and plasticity of material and its effect on form, combining two kinds of materials within the same artwork. As a sculptor, the viewer matters to me. My goal is to capture their attention and to inspire thought. My audience takes part in the creation of an artwork by using their imagination, and without them, my sculptures do not exist. For
