The show was organised with the cooperation of the French embassy in Moscow and the Russian Academy of Arts, which gallery owner Zurab Tsereteli heads. The exhibition?s chief patron is Mikhail Shvydkoy, Special Presidential Representative for International Culture Cooperation.
Sárközy and Hornung were made honourary members of the Russian Academy of Arts at the opening of the show at the weekend.
Sárközy, who is the father of the French president, and Hornung work together in a new genre called digital fantasy. Sárközy makes drawings and Hornung adds photographs and digitally manipulates the images.
The Abigail Gallery has made it its mission to raise the profile of Hungarian artists who are better known abroad than in their own country. The gallery has shown work by Joseph Kádár, Anna Stein, Ákos Bíró, Franyo Aatoth, Vaito Agathe, Imre Kun and Mátyás Liptay, most of whom live in France.
