Interviews

Gábor Szügyi's career is a rare example of how classical artistic foundations, applied visual professions, and autonomous creation are not alternatives to each other, but rather layers that reinforce each other. From art school in Pécs to the University of Fine Arts, through Hungarian animated films and international productions, all the way to digital sculpture, his career path is defined not by a single style or medium, but by continuous learning, adaptation, and inner curiosity.

ANX does not view graffiti merely as a technique or subculture, but as a way of thinking that accompanies him throughout his life. Behind his choice of name, we can see the emergence of a darker, atmospheric visual world and a continuous transformation that shapes not only his style but also his relationship with communities and the city. His works capture moments—from an internal process in which graffiti is simultaneously presence, memory, and visual imprint.

Optikone has been blowing since 2002, his name derives from his dental technique, and his style is a unique blend of oldschool and wildstyle, with figures and cartoon-like thinking always playing an important role. After an eight-year hiatus, he returned to graffiti in 2013 and has since been a member of the Skicc Meeting Crew, for whom graffiti is a hobby, passion and community all at once.

The artist's creative style is a kind of visual psychodrama that mixes the freedom of street art, eclectic excess, the dreamlike quality of surrealism and the honesty of dissecting the inner world. In his work he likes to put familiar characters, icons and paintings in a new context, often holding up a mirror. When he starts an inner dialogue in someone, the magic has already happened.
