Agnes Eperjesy is a visual artist working in photography, mixed media and collage.
She grew up in Gyor, Hungary where she studied fine art as well as economics before moving to Scotland via Germany, Italy, Sweden. She completed a photojournalism diploma followed by a masters degree in organisational psychology and a diploma art psychotherapy which informs and underpins most of her recent works. Her eclectic work experience and exposure to a wide variety of studies and professional practices provided/-ing her with a fertile ground for her art.
Her work is largely based on the study of phenomenology, the philosophy of experience. She inquires into the idea of what it may look like if we could strip ourselves from learnt, inherited, socially constructed preconceptions and look at our environment and ourselves more intuitively. Through layering, distorting proportions, double meanings and symbols, she often takes on social commentary, mixed with personal reflections on ideal society and accepted individual behaviour.
She is using subversion of imagery to shift meanings, create different narratives, new visual languages and to look at familiar scenes from different angles. She tends to approach her work through a humanist lens examining the human experience, our vulnerabilities, idiosyncrasies and our quest for self-discovery. Her aim is not to shock but to inspire, enlighten and challenge dominant narratives. Agnes is working with traditional and experimental processes, investigating the essential concepts and boundaries of photography and its potential to create space for connection and reflection.
Her work has been exhibited and published internationally and can be found in private collections.
