Hungarian artist recycles wood waste and creates magnificent sculptures

2014 has been a very busy year for Miklos Gabor Szoke so far. He is one of the most popular contemporary Hungarian artists, who has recently displayed his ’Chinese Dragon’ artwork in Kazincbarcika, and has presented the biggest bird sculpture in Europe a month ago: an eagle, representing the Hungarian football team, Ferencvaros, which can be seen in front of Grupama Arena in Budapest.

Szoke is now preparing a caged pig for Tollwood Festival, which is being held in München. The gastronomical and art festival is famous for dealing with the issue of animal rights, and the organizers offer part of the incoming profit for animal rights foundations.

„In my opinion, we should make an effort to create healthier and more humane conditions for every farm animal. I am happy that I can support a festival, which calls attention to people’s resposibility, and eco-friendly living.” – Miklos Gabor Szoke told divany.hu.
