Life

After fleeing to Germany during the 1956 uprising in Hungary, he studied painting and graphics at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart from 1960 to 1965 and worked as a painter and graphic artist. Since moving to West Berlin in 1971, he has devoted himself to working with the medium of film, later to video art and, since the mid-1990s, to computer graphics.

job

He participates and lives in the world he observes and describes and is therefore never to be subtracted as a person from his works, because they are never absolutely and objectively accessible, but always observer-relative. And even if all of his activities and gestures seem to go side by side in parallel media and techniques, they are ultimately the expression of different facets in the mosaic of the indivisible artist personality Antal Lux, who despite or precisely because of his broad, mature work has the freshness of the experimental Access and thus the constant challenge. His work is not based on a plan in the sense of a schema, but a plan in the sense of an inventive creation. ( Heiko Daxl , 1994)
