In Issue 8, Ariane Fairlie wrote about Balint Zsako’s work in an artist portfolio:
Though Balint Zsako works in collage, his drawings, too, contain the essential elements of his (and any) collage work: juxtaposition and hybridity. Often when an artist confronts the natural world with mechanics they find incompatibility, or even look to exaggerate the degree to which they are at odds.
