Márton Nemes

Márton Nemes (b. 1986, Székesfehérvár, Hungary) is a multi-media artist based in Budapest. Working in painting, sculpture, installation, and sound, Nemes explores abstraction through a dynamic use of material and form. He represented Hungary at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024 and will have his first solo exhibition at Marc Straus Gallery in New York in September 2025. Recent exhibitions include museums in Budapest, Hong Kong, New York, and Berlin. Nemes began his practice with works inspired by the architecture of Budapest, translating urban structures into colorful abstract compositions. After moving to London, where he received an MFA from Chelsea College of Arts in 2018, his work began to incorporate influences from techno and rave subcultures, fusing visual and sonic elements to evoke immersive, multi-sensory environments. Through layered surfaces, vibrant colors, and rhythmic structures, his work reflects on the fluidity and fragmentation of contemporary experience.
