Today I'd like to show you some amazing sculptures that I've been saving as these are the last photos I took at he solo exhibition of Vince Bocskay, an exceptional talent in sculpture, with some statues and compositions you've never seen before.
If you've missed my previous posts about the exhibition, you can still go back and check them out here and here. I suggest you do it as it worth it.
Stranger - 1975
He has these oversized feminine statues, which may not be the silhouette that is hyped today, but we're talking about art, so sky is the limit and everything is possible. Only the narrow minded people don't know that, or don't want to see it.
One thing I admire about the artist, apart from his amazing talent is his ability to use a great variety of materials. We've seen stone, clay, metal (or steal?) and now wood.
This was a religious series. I think it's a series as all three pieces are about the cross.
The Road Of The Cross
Yes, they say crossroad, but if you look at the Hungarian and Romanian title, it's not crossroad, it's the road of the cross, which means a totally different thing. Anyway, I had a close look of the sculpture and can confirm, it was carved out of a single piece of wood. You need to have a good 3D vision, to create this pattern, which most likely symbolizes the rocky and bumpy road up to the cross.
Good Friday - 2025
I'm not very religious and the cross is not a prominent part of my religion, but as an artwork I like it. Look at the cloth on the cross.
The Mark Of The Cross - 2023
This was another amazing sculpture. I should have taken a another shot from the side, for you to see the surface is not straight, but wavy.
Forgotten Poet - 1984
Not only forgotten, but blind as well.
You could see the texture of the cloth. I don't know if this was intentional or this is how it should be, but it looks good.
Smile - 1982
The smile that makes you smile and you are going to see why.
Look at that face, how can you not smile?
Ferenc Dávid - 2020
I must confess, I had no idea who Ferenc Dávid was, except, judging from the look, maybe a hunch that he lived in the middle ages.
Ferenc Dávid (also rendered as Francis David or Francis Davidis; born as Franz David Hertel, c. 1520 – 15 November 1579) was a preacher and theologian from Transylvania, the founder of the Unitarian Church of Transylvania, and the leading figure of the Nontrinitarian Christian movements during the Protestant Reformation. He disputed the mainstream Christian doctrine of the Trinity, believing God to be one and indivisible.
Well, I wasn't completely wrong.
Hetaira - 2021
This was a bit of a shock to be honest.
If this is how hetairas looked like back then, that means Greeks had a strange taste, but we know the artist liked satire.
If you don't know who the hetairas were, here it is:
A hetaira was a type of highly educated female companion in ancient Greece who served as an artist, entertainer, and conversationalist. Historians have often classed them as courtesans, but the extent to which they were sex workers is a matter of dispute.
Head With Turban - 1981
At this point I am convinced that most, if not all the statues, sculptures take the visitors back to the past. Some are from ancient times, some from the middle ages. Most likely history means a lot to the artist. Not a bad thing though.
Outlook - 2015
This is where the fun begins.
Dispute - 2016
I'm not sure if this was meant to be a series made of two pieces, but it doesn't matter. It's funny. I love the colors, that green on copper has always been my favorite.
Solitudo - 2019
Magdalene - 2019
Sándor - 1975
Looking at this statue, I'm expecting the man to open his eyes and look at me. If this work doesn't convince you of the artist's talent, then nothing will.
Sleeping Muse - 2019
I told you it's going to be fun :)
Profane Resurrection - 2017
This is it of this exhibition and I truly hope you have some favorites here. let me know in a comment.

It has certainly been great fun to see each of the works, and above all it has been spectacular to see the artist's talent, both in the facial features, every minute detail, and, as you rightly said, the variety of materials he works with.
The sculpture of the smile really does make you smile, like the two in the theatre. I think they are part of a series and they are entertaining. But the ones I liked the most, even though I am not a practising Catholic, are the wooden sculptures of the cross. The reliefs, the carving in a single piece and the cloth or folds show great talent and skill. I have always been fascinated by woodwork, and these are beautiful.
The sculptures of women really catch the eye, but at the same time they demonstrate a great knowledge of the human body in their artistic execution. The sculpture of the blind man struck me. When I looked at it closely, I saw that it had a texture as if, at the end of the work and before it dried, a cloth had been placed on it to create that effect, and it was done with an awareness of what the artist wanted to achieve. Fabulous.
These have been great works of art, thank you very much for this. A big hug!
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions posts!
Please consider voting for our Liotes HIVE Witness. Thank you!
A big hug to you too and I'm glad you like these. The ones you mentioned are among my favorites too. If you look at the exhibition as a whole, you see the talent of the artist and the variety of works and materials used. It was one of the bests in my opinion, but you know how it is, there are so many bests that we can't even begin to cunt them :)
Each one has its own beauty, and that is wonderful. Art is art in its different styles, and it is a wonderful form of expression. Thank you very much to you!🤗
all the faces are great pieces, the details are just perfect and they reseble a human face. i pick Forgotten Poet because the blind part has been done so nicely that it seems there has been put some texile on its face
Forgotten Poet is a nice pick and congrats for noticing the textile print. I took a close-up to show you the texture :)
My favorite was this one:
The level of detail is very good, I like it, I can only imagine how long it took to do it. It's admirable.
That's a good one.
Guao me impresionan todas las esculturas que nos mostrastes. Mucho talento hay.
Wow! THAT was an amazing sculpture in the pictures , so nice and and beautiful.
These sculptures are fantastic and the artist is really creative.
Beautiful portraits of women with lush buttocks and breasts! It's liberating to see the opulence in the women!
