István Orosz Posters
ISTVAN OROSZ was born in Hungary in 1951. He was trained as a graphic designer at the University of Arts and Design in Budapest. After graduation in 1975 he began to deal with theatre as a stage designer and animated film as an animator and film director. Later when poster came to the center of his interest he made mainly theatre, movie and exhibition posters. At the time of East-European democratic changes he drew some political posters as well. He is known as a printmaker and an illustrator also. He likes to use visual paradox and illusionistic approaches while following traditional printing techniques such as woodcutting and etching. He also tries to renew the technique of anamorphosis. He is a regular participant in the major international biennials of posters and graphic art and his works have been shown in many individual and group exhibitions in Hungary and abroad. Regularly he participates in international designer and artist congresses and he leads workshops. Film director at the Pannonia Film Studio in Budapest, Habil. professor at University of West Hungary in Sopron, member of Alliance Graphique International, both Hungarian Art Academies and Utisz Graphic Design Studio. He often uses ÚTISZ (No one) as an artist’s pseudonym.
- It was the Homeric hero Odysseus, who fought the Cyclops, that used this name, and put out the monster’s eye. I imagine that poster is nothing else but an Odysseus’ gesture: some kind of attack upon the eye.

Maravilhoso; o design gráfico do leste europeu é de qualidade apurada e é menos atrelado à propaganda; minha vizinha é húngara e trouxe-me um cartaz c/ uma coluna coríntia (capitel bem detalhado) coberto por texturas “pop” em cores vivas [”új müvészet”]; pelo q vejo aqui, acho que é o estilo deles.
