Máté Orr: The Hills Are Not as Close as They Seem | London
JD Malat Gallery, London, is delighted to announce The Hills Are Not as Close as They Seem, the first solo exhibition in London by emerging international artist Máté Orr (b. 1985, Budapest). Taking place on the main floor of the gallery from 14th May to 14th June 2025, this landmark exhibition presents a powerful new series of works that explore human emotion, psychological resilience, and the surreal absurdities of contemporary life.
Orr’s distinctive practice merges digital precision with traditional oil painting, resulting in dreamlike compositions where human and animal forms inhabit complex, psychologically charged landscapes. Through intricate scenes of quiet confrontation and poetic unease, Orr invites viewers into a world where adversity becomes adventure and vulnerability is met with calm introspection.
