Gábor Roskó's paintings rely on a wide range of art-historical and visual references such as fairy tale illustrations and Dadaist collages, the phantasmagorical figuration of Surrealism, the aggressive colour scheme of German Expressionism and Neue Wilde, the cartoonish, post-Pop figuration of Philip Guston, George Condo, Carroll Dunham or the Pictures generation, as well as the kitsch objects and images of modern mass culture.
