Lakner, László
Painter. Graduated from the Hungarian Academy of Arts in 1960. His masters were Gyula Papp and Aurél Bernáth. His art is rooted in the realist tradition. At the beginning of his career, his style was influenced by surnaturalism and Rembrandt, and it was later influenced by pop art, conceptualism, and hyperrealism. He created a unique style, building on these influences. The themes of his works are defined by his interest in photos, books, and documents. He uses them to create depictions of historical and social issues, consistently using painterly means. In 1968 and 1969, he exhibited at the Iparterv exhibitions. He won the stipendium of the DAAD Künstlerprogram in 1974. He settled in West Germany in 1976. In his German period, he was interested in issues concerning the identity of art. He has taught as a professor at the University of Essen since 1982. His works were shown at the Venice Biennial (1972, 1976, 1990) and Documenta 6 (1977). He currently lives in Berlin and Budapest.
