Meszlényi Attila (born 2 May 1954 in Budapest) is an ecological writer, "painter," animated film director, "musician," and composer. His work as a painter. And thinker is dominated by the theme of nature and "our ambiguous relationship with it."
Attila MeszlĂ©nyi has lived in seclusion since 2006. He prefers not to exhibit his work, publishing only on the "Internet." His more recent works in relation to the ecology topic are available in parts online. MeszlĂ©nyi Attila states: âevery piece of work is worthy of respect only if it creates more value than it destroys; the canvas coated in paint by itself is no more valuable than the flax and cotton it is made of.â
Careerâ»
He graduated in applied graphic arts from KĂ©pzĆ- Ă©s IparmƱvĂ©szeti SzakközĂ©piskola (Fine and Applied Arts School) in 1972. Against his parentsâ and teachersâ wishes, he did not continue his education as he did not want to move away from everyday life. He also believed that self-education was worth more than institutional education. He spent the following years doing various, mostly physical jobs such as baker, stone sculptor, decorator, plumber etc. He continued his art activities in his free time and began to turn towards films.
Attila MeszlĂ©nyi took part in a study called âA magyar film formanyelve Ă©s közlemĂ©nyeâ about film semiotics in cooperation with LĂĄszlĂł Beke, ĂzsĂ©b HorĂĄnyi, AndrĂĄs LĂĄnyi and RĂłbert Vadas led by PĂ©ter JĂłzsa. Spotted by Foky OttĂł, he started directing animated films in PannĂłnia FilmstĂșdiĂł from 1977 to â79. He mostly worked on parts of the popular cartoon series âFrakk, a macskĂĄk rĂ©meâ,.
After the series ended, he started working as a freelance graphic designer. He made covers and illustrations for no less than two hundred books, drew many slide films. And occasionally took commercial graphic design work orders as well. Since 1980, he is member of MƱvĂ©szeti Alap (Artist Fund) and its successor organisation Magyar AlkotĂłmƱvĂ©szek OrszĂĄgos EgyesĂŒlete (National Association of Hungarian Artists).
In 1983, he founded an early music ensemble, Musica Profana, in which he played the Baroque flute and musette till 1993.
Due to the instigation of Muray RĂłbert and Dr. ZoltĂĄn Attila, from 1987, he started painting wild birds and mammals of Europe and occasionally other continents, mixing naturalist depiction with various stylistic elements.
In 1990, he founded (and has been leading ever since) the TARON TĂRSASĂG (called GondolkodĂłkör after 2001). Between 1998 and 2006, he was a regular participant of national exhibitions, fine art biennales. He continues to paint animals and plants, alive and dead, using watercolour or oil. Since 1999, he has been member of the Magyar VĂzfestĆk TĂĄrsasĂĄga (Association of the Hungarian Watercolour Painters). He co-founded the Unikornis fine art group with PĂ©chy TamĂĄs in 2001. Its members: CsĂkszentmihĂĄlyi RĂłbert sculptor, Nagy Judit gobelin artist, Nemes IstvĂĄn painter and graphic artist, SzemadĂĄm György fine artist, PĂ©chy TamĂĄs environmentalist and SĂĄrosdy Judit art historian. In recent years, he has mainly been painting and publishing his writings on ecology and art.
