Life and work[edit]

Geza Csosz is a Hungarian-British fine artist and photographer known for his evocative and intimate photographic works. His artistic style is characterized by a combination of spontaneity and precision, often featuring his family as central subjects, which imbues his works with a deep sense of love and intimacy. Csosz's approach to photography is influenced by notable photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Josef Koudelka, but he adds his own unique perspective that often carries a touch of irony and banality​​.

Csosz has an extensive portfolio that includes various projects and exhibitions. His works often explore themes like modern slavery, existence, and time, and he has exhibited his art internationally, including in Spain, Egypt, Hungary, and France​​. In addition to his photography, Csosz has also produced several films and authored books that reflect his artistic vision and thematic concerns​​.

One notable aspect of Csosz's work is his project "Family World," which presents an idyllic and poetic view of life through the lens of his family experiences. This project encapsulates a warm, playful, and human-scale world that resonates with a sense of childhood wonder and innocence, while also hinting at the underlying complexities and challenges of adult life​​.

Csosz began his photographic studies in Ecole des Beaux-Arts Sion in Switzerland, then completed his studies at UNI Vienna, at the Szellemkép Szabadiskolában[1] in Budapest and finaly in the UK in Bath Spa University MA Fine Art. He became known as an enamel artist. He had several exhibitions e.g. in Budapest at the Ericsson Gallery of Fine Arts Gallery,[2] in Szeged (at the Southern Hungarian Creative House), as well as in Zurich, Munich, and elsewhere. After several years of persecution in Hungary, he moved to the UK.
