Gresa Márton - I live in your eyes
Márton Gresa (1993) debuts a new series of moulded paintings in his debut solo exhibition at acb Attachment. The artist's latest works also reflect the digital visual and communication culture of our time, which has completely changed our perception of reality.

In Gresa's works, textual inscriptions play a very prominent role alongside the pictorial elements: the English phrases, familiar from advertisements, seem to be ironically constantly reading out their own meaning. And Márton Gresa's numerous typographic games not only evoke the still optimistic golden age of digital aesthetics, but also create real visual patterns from tautological fragments of sentences.
Márton Gresa graduated from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2019. Together with Daniel Kármán he created the studio and showroom Birdhouse. As an artist collective (Birds of Cool), they debuted at Q Contemporary in the spring of 2022 and were subsequently included in MODEM's New Meditations exhibition. Gresa's first solo shows were in 2022 at the artkartell in Budapest and at the Nick Gallery in Pécs.
acb Gallery
Founded in Budapest in 2003, acb Gallery has consistently grown in the past two decades establishing itself as one of the leading actors in the Hungarian and Eastern European art market. Initially, the gallery’s focus was on Hungarian and international emerging and mid-generation neo-conceptual artists, who became active after the political changes in the former Eastern Bloc in 1990. Since then, the gallery has expanded its focus, and now represents numerous Hungarian neo-avant-garde artists who have left their mark on art history since the 1960s and 1970s, as well as members of the youngest generations beside the already established ones.
Since the autumn of 2022, acb runs three exhibition spaces: the main gallery space, acb Attachment, which serves as a project space, and acb Plus, dedicated to large-scale solo and group presentations.
acb’s research and publishing department, acb ResearchLab was founded in 2015. This platform within the gallery aims to fill the gaps in the reception and publication of Hungarian neo-avant-garde and post-avant-garde oeuvres by studying bodies of works and art phenomena previously treated as peripheral.
The gallery holds significant importance within the global art market, actively promoting its artists nationally as well as internationally and engaging in art fairs, such as the Art Basel in Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach, the Frieze Masters London or the ARCO Madrid.
