GIDEON HORVÁTH

Born in 1990, West-Berlin. Lives and works in Budapest, Hungary.

Gideon Horváth is a Hungarian-French interdisciplinary visual artist based in Budapest, working mainly with sculptural installations. Conceptually he is often dealing with queer and ecological theories. His works question anthropocentrism and dualistic worldviews, always giving space to the sensual and intuitive ways of experiencing his topics. In his sculptural installations he mainly works with beeswax, which he uses as a queer material as it is both very sensitive and highly resilient. The wax has the qualities of being ambivalent, fluid and constantly becoming, which are notions that are in Horváth’s central interests.

In 2025, Horváth’s sculpture ‘The King’ was acquired by The Museum of Fine Arts – Hungarian National Gallery and was included in the exhibition ‘Reminiscent Practices’ at the museum (2025). Other recent exhibitions include ‘Intertwined’, curated by Sára Major and Linda Alexandra Tarr at The Hungarian National Gallery (2025); ‘The Most Dangerous Person’, OFF-Biennale, Budapest (2025); and ‘Genius Loci’ curated by Ameli M. Klein at Museum Römerhalle (2025).
