Károly Klimó is one of the most consistent continuers the tradition of the Hungarian neo-avant-garde and the European School.

In his art, the gestural language of Informel converges with the expressivity of the Central European Neue Wilde movement, shaped by a distinctly narrative, literature-inspired vision. His paintings, graphics, collages, and assemblages move along the boundary between figuration and abstraction, permeated by melancholy, irony, and intellectual playfulness.

For Klimó, the image is not merely a visual phenomenon but a space of thought: inspired by the works of Franz Kafka, Antonin Artaud, Marquis de Sade, and Thomas Bernhard, he explores the extremes of human existence. His meticulously constructed compositions evoke at once theatrical scenes and inner psychological landscapes.

The exhibition offers a sensitive insight into an oeuvre in which literature, philosophical reflection, and painterly gesture form an inseparable unity.
