László Szlávics Jr.

His works include every kind of medal, from those displaying the craftsmanship of the traditional minter to such as tend towards small sculptures.

In the 1980s he was noted for handmade medals engraved in a steel negative, a technique reminiscent of ancient coinage.

(Birds, Africa,[2] Count István Széchenyi,[3] Hungarian generals executed at Arad in 1849[4] stb.).

As a counterpoint to this, he produced several series of medals using an industrial, where time – is measured by movements within the object – visible mode.

In 2007, he was awarded the Béni Ferenczy Prize, grand prix of the 16th National Biennial of Medal Art.

Also in that year, he was among the two selected artists at the Art Medal World Congress FIDEM XXX (Colorado Springs, USA).

They are clearly contemporary works, of art, incorporating conventional devices such as the pendulum or spring mechanism, carrying out the functions of a clock.
