Imre Kocsis

Imre Kocsis was a Hungarian-German graphic artist and object artist working in the concrete-constructivist style. 

The exploration of space was at the center of Imre Kocsis’s work. Building upon primarily black-and-white images and graphics, he developed numerous floor-wall-space objects over the course of more than thirty years, which were characterized by a complete reduction to achromatic black and white. By thereby transforming flat, two-dimensional structures into three-dimensionality, Kocsis made the space itself the foundation of his works. By laying, placing, or leaning flat objects against walls, he created spatial illusions and depth. This interaction with the respective exhibition space continually opened new perspectives on the individual works and allowed viewers to constantly reposition what they saw as they moved through the space.
