Steven Balogh
STEVEN BALOGH is a New York based artist. This is his 30th solo exhibition at Gallery MC.
February 25 through March 3rd, 2026
He has participated in dozens of group shows in Europe, the USA and Asia.
Balogh’s art figures in the permanent collections of museums in the USA and Europe and Asia.
His art has always been politically and socially conscious and involved with his times and surrounding.
“Balogh likens the motive and method for his works as spiritual and technical interpretations, palimpsest and remixed. The repurposing of both materials and substance found in the Ballet series is present as well in Mystery (Godwin-Ternbach Museum Collection). So seamless is this composition of disparate, layered images that one is lead to believe it is a montage of images skillfully placed together. But it is not. It is a single image of trees and unidentifiable elements of a memory, an image of spectral beauty,it is greater than its parts. In its tondo form it suggests a globe filled with colorful and integrated but unfathomable parts.”
Many of Balogh’s seemingly incompatible groupings of object, image and idea are unified and ruled by the principle of the sublime — beauty and fear.
Dr. Amy Winter PhD, Curator, Advisory Board member at Godwin-Ternbach Museum, New York.
“Balogh’s creative world rewaves his surroundings.No matter whether this presentation is philosophical, minimal, literary, conceptual, abstract, or commentary on beauty or on the grotesque; the concept has exceeded the capacities for a conventional control and a rational comprehension.”
Luchia Meihua Lee, Curator, Executive director, TAAC. New York.
