graphic artist

"Sociographic graphic slam poetry and stand-up comedy told with pen and brush on graphic papers. Kata Végh's interests are rather narrow: she is only interested in the whole world and its people. Nothing else. Perhaps just enough subject matter for a life's work. The young graphic artist has found humanity and draws all its woes and miseries with enthusiasm, kindness, and biting irony. She creates individual prints and mini-cartoons, but all of them elegantly, on the borderline between caricature and grand art.

He considers himself a humble admirer of Adam Lévai and Caravaggio, László Réber and Dürer, and due to her education and up-to-date approach to world affairs, these masters would not be ashamed that she chose them.

Kata Végh goes to the subjects - after all, most of them are on the street - listens in on street conversations, or is the subject of an insult. So she has plenty to take notes on. And she takes tremendous notes. She is loose with the characters; for her, the vocabulary is really word and image, linking them together. Her associations are sometimes direct, the scene is often crowded, and she sometimes overdoes the idea, but that's the genre of Végh's choice. The result: an entertaining, thought-provoking world newsreel. Listen, read, watch"
