Árpád Forgó is interested in experimental painting, in the question of broadening the interpretation of non-figurative panel painting by keeping its painting feature and by exploring the borderline between painting and sculpture. His shaped canvas works are built from his pre-defined modular system, where structure, shape, measurements and rhythm as well as the planar and spatial relationships are in the focus of his research. He is intensively experimenting with materials in order to create different surfaces that characterise each of his works. In recent years, the rectangular modules were tilted and the new parallelogram-shaped modules made the compositions dynamic.

Forgó was born in Budapest, Hungary. He has participated in group shows widely at galleries and museums, including Ludwig Museum and Vasarely Museum, Hungary; Museum Ritter, Germany; Mark Rothko Art Center, Latvia; and Griffin Gallery, UK. The artist had solo shows at Anya Tish Gallery, Houston, USA; Milano Gallery, Warsaw, Poland; Rómer Flóris Museum of Art and History and Viltin Gallery in Hungary. He has been invited to numerous artist-in-residence programs, including The Vermont Studio Center, USA; Sydney Non Objective Contemporary Art Projects, Australia; The Swatch Art Peace Hotel, Shanghai, China and most recently The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Connecticut, USA. Currently he is a grantee of The Pollock-Krasner Foundation.
