Piro Flamingos (2021) is a playful acrylic painting of a red flamingo in a top hat with exaggerated eyes that coyly look out at the audience. The towering six-and-half-foot-tall piece sold for HK$1.008 million (US$128,433)—more than double its high estimate of HK$500,000 (US$63,692)—at Sotheby’s “Contemporary Curated” sale in Hong Kong last month, the second-most expensive sale at auction of a work by the emerging artist.
Born in Pécs, Hungary, in 1992, the London-based Bozó has made a splash in both the primary and secondary markets, with his lively figurative paintings commanding strong interest from both emerging and established collectors over the past two years. Impressive in both size and color, Bozó’s work evokes the vivid shapes and creatures featured in cartoons and children’s books, specifically those of Hungarian nursery rhymes that were read to him in his youth.
