The works of Gábor Arion Kudász are long-term projects balancing between documentary and staged photography. After projects exploring urban development, environmental issues and the industrial landscape his attention turned towards human relations, private histories and the mechanical functions of memory.
He received the József Pécsi scholarship in 2004, 2007 and 2011. He teaches at the Photography Master program at The Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design since 2013.
In 2010 Arion took part in the European Eyes on Japan / Japan Today project. He received the "Márciusi Ifjak" award of the Hungarian Republic in 2010 and the Balogh Rudolf award in 2013. His works were exhibited internationally in group shows at venues like BOZAR, Musée de L'Elysée, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Aperture Gallery, and in festivals from Lodz to Pingyao. He took part in the group exhibition entitled Hungarian Art Photography in the New Millennium at the Hungarian National Gallery in 2013.
In this study of sharp contrasts and sculptural abstractions, the story of the banal brick becomes a reflection on the history of human civilization.
