The Third Hand presents the multi-faceted and experimental practice of Marton Perlaki. It captures the five-year period from 2018 to 2023, during which time Perlaki moved from making figurative to abstract work.
The title, The Third Hand, refers to an unknown force which, for Perlaki, exerts a quiet but powerful influence over the act of making work. Chance, seductive and unknowable, dictates that even if a series of steps are followed in the same way, the outcome will be different. This potent magic plays a crucial role in his process.
