“I am the only artist in Hungary who has painted on both sides of the Berlin Wall.”

The artist Sándor Györffy was born in Kapolcs (Hungary) in 1951 and lives and works in Budapest. His painting “Mauerdurchbruch” (Wall breakthrough) shows two heads composed of geometric forms that have come to life and are breaking down the barrier between them by their fiery exchange. Györffy was the only Hungarian artist to paint on both sides of the Wall.

Györffy’s painting “Mauerdurchbruch” (Wall breakthrough), also known as “Feuerköpfe” (Hotheads), shows geometric forms in an abstract style. The head on the left side of the painting seems to be spitting a yellow triangle at the head on the right, breaking through the black bar in the centre of the picture. The heads stand for East and West Berlin. The bar symbolises the Berlin Wall, which is being smashed by the force of language.
