MICHAL MRÁZ

Michal Mráz' work bridges the gap between modern stencil realism and urban contemporary art.
Originally, he studied Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. 
His present body of work consists of contrasting narratives. Each work encompasses multiple layered stories, ideas and metaphors all on one painted surface. 
The result is a highly charged picture, electric with a life of its own, frozen in time, as if against it’s own will. Mráz` ideas are executed with little colour but prevailing emotion. 
He deals with topics of globalisation, society’s perception, principles of consumerism, human systems and the control of society.

MM studied on Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Atelier J. Hoffstädter in Bratislava, Slovakia.
In 2012, his work was nominated for the Artaq Urban Art Award in Paris.
Michal Mráz (b.1987) was born and raised in Bratislava, Slovakia where he currently resides.
