Award winning Hungarian artist Péter Gergely Lendvai was born in 1977 in Kaposvár and graduated as a graphic artist at The Academy of Fine Arts. His artwork has been greatly influenced by Polynesian art since moving to New Zealand in 2007 and upon his return home last year, the artist fuses his influences ingeniously. Lendvai uses brass wire mesh as a base which fits with hot glass thus creating a wonderful combination of optical effects and graphic quality.
