Agnes Szentgyörgyi Gallus (1930-2010) was a Hungarian Canadian artist at the height of the Saskatchewan abstract expressionist movement of the 1970s.
Born in Hungary, she fled during the ’56 uprising and arrived as a refugee, with her young family, in Regina. She studied art at the University of Saskatchewan, Regina Campus, with artists Kenneth Lochead and Ted Godwin, and later taught classes at the university in the 1970s and ’80s.
Career
editA contemporary of The Regina Five, she participated in numerous Emma Lake Artist Workshops.[1][2] with Harold Cohen (1966), Frank Stella (1967), Michael Steiner (1969 ) and Roy Kiyooka (1972) and became known for her colour field paintings, delicate line drawings, and hand-carved pottery and hand carved pottery.
In 2005, she moved to Toronto and continued her art practice until her death, in 2010. Her work was posthumously exhibited in 2013 at Artscape Wychwood Barns[3] in Toronto and at the SK Arts 2021 group exhibitions Until Spring[4] and There’s an Artist in the Garden in Regina, with fellow artists Wynona Mulcaster, Mina Forsyth, and Donna Kriekle.
Her art is now held in various public and private collections, including the MacKenzie Art Gallery[5], Saskatchewan Arts Board[6] and Assiniboia Gallery[7]
