"The artist's way of seeing makes us realize many particulars that may have been taken from the signals of body-talk. The painter is watching the people around him with much humour. They are represented with love in spite of their grotesqueness, so they become the unfailing substantical source of the warm spirit of the painter. A smile, a hip-momentum, an impertinent nose-motif become, by heightened expression, maximally suggestive. The paintings by András Végh give notice to boredom, are such as a wonderful puzzle, that can be joined again and again. His works are rich in colours, their senses are involved, in their mood the serenity is fundamental."
(Elisabeth Rath, Salzburg)
"One is compelled to recognise this talented artist's authenticity and capacity to regularly question himself; to doubt his certainties and affirm the certainty of his doubts."
(Georges Mandel, Paris)
