"Skateboarder boy" bronze genre art sculpture in the main square

Created by Sándor Kligl in 2009

The so-called genre art style spread in Hungary in the 19th century. The artworks of this style represent events or scenes from the everyday life, usually in a people friendly way as much as possible. Today these are experiencing a renaissance mostly in the form of genre sculptures, which are almost always life-sized and usually placed among the passers-by in the cities, on the sidewalks, in the parks, etc. Nowadays their function is primarily to entertain (for example to engage the passers-by into the artwork, even for a photo), and of course to decorate the public squares and other community areas.
