About the Artist
Andrea Fajgerné Dudás (b. 1985) is an artist, contemporary painter, housewife, feminist, performance artist and a mother of two. She took her husband’s name according to traditional Hungarian custom, which she interprets both as belonging to a man and as an artistic statement. She explores the intertwining of female identity, social roles and patriarchal conventions, while creating a confusion in the contemporary art milieu with her conservative female’s name. The dual play with roles and identities runs through all her activities, whether it comes to paintings depicting and imitating housework, a jam-making performance, or mopping up an exhibition space. The most common sources of her work come from her private life, housework, culinary activities and motherhood, but these themes are embedded in a broader, global social context that affects women.
