Collection: Janos Korodi

I was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1971. I’m a visual artist, primarily a painter, but I'm also dealing with different forms of printmaking and sometimes murals, occasionally participating in interdisciplinary collaborations. By the time I received my doctoral degree in visual arts from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, at the age of 42 in 2013, I was already in the process of relocation to the US. In the last 25 years my works have been shown in various countries in Europe and the US. I've spent a six-months artists residency at TerraCycle Inc. in Trenton, NJ in 2015, awarded the 2010 Eötvös Scholarship of the Hungarian State--a studio residency in New York City, a 2008 scholarship at the Hungarian Academy in Rome, the 1999–2001 Derkovits Fellowship for emerging artist in Hungary and the 1996 scholarship from the Tóth Menyhért Foundation of Kecskemét, Hungary.
My works are in permanent public and private collections internationally. I live and work in Philadelphia since 2015.
Through the 2000’s I have dealt with architecture and urbanism, and its visual and theoretical aspects for my Genius Loci - Spirit of the Place paintings and program, which concluded in my thesis. Later I found my new self in “motion”, and the phenomenon of transition between places. This move colluded and bound together with the human exodus of the recent decade, as well as with my own immigration, and it reflects on the Spirit of the Place problem, too.
