ATTILA RICHARD LUKACS 1962 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Lukács gained international attention via his E-werk series—a collection of very large figure paintings that he created in the 1980s and 90s, while living in Berlin. The paintings featured nude and semi-nude skinheads, who were depicted in heroic and classical poses in chiaroscuro, reminiscent of Renaissance art.[2][3][4][5] The paintings were considered provocative due to their depictions of homosexuality, sadomasochism and fascistic symbolism.[1][6][7][8] Biography Lukács was born in Edmonton, Alberta and grew up in Calgary.[1][9][10] He is the second of three sons born to Joseph and Helen Lukács.[1] His parents fled Hungary in 1956.[1][9] His father worked as a petroleum engineer.[9] Having shown an interest in art since heAttila Richard Lukács (born 1962)[1] is a Canadian artist. was a young child, Lukács was encouraged by his father to apply to the fine arts program at the University of Victoria.[1][9] Lukács did not enjoy his time at the university and enrolled at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver in 1983.[9] Later that same year he had his first solo exhibition titled Prime Cuts, held at the Unit/Pitt Gallery in Vancouver.[9] As described by Tom Barrett of the Vancouver Sun: "The front of the gallery was fixed up to imitate a butcher shop. Inside, thick paintings of raw, red hunks of meat hung from the walls."[9][11] www.aglutinart.blogspot.com
