Fittingly titled Re:Fresh, the exhibition shows the work of the first four KOGART Prize winners -- Csilla Bongor, Ágnes Tóth, Endre Kiss and Zsuzsa Gesztelyi Nagy -- since they received the award, as well as some thirty Hungarian artists whose works were shown in pervious shows, offering visitors a cross-section of recent trends in contemporary Hungarian art.

The work of the past years' winners says much about the Fresh exhibition's role as a previewer of future trends. Csilla Bongor's recycled furniture pieces are like a palimpsest on which time is written over, Ágnes Tóthás paintings reach from photorealism to the philosophical, Endre Kiss's portraits of enlarged faces separated into cubes demonstrate much experience with memory, and Zsuzsa Gesztelyi Nagy's images show with wild colours the search for identity as well as uniformity.
All of the artists in the exhibition deal with the most pressing questions of the day, albeit with different means and different techniques.
