Brigitta Kocsis

Toronto Outdoor Art Fair x Emily Carr Award Recipient, 2026

Brigitta Kocsis explores the space between representation and abstraction, creating hybrid glitched figures that investigate embodiment in technologically mediated environments. After studying at the Fine Arts Department of Concordia University, she earned her BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver in 2005. Her practice has evolved from large-scale multimedia installations and video art to a dedicated exploration of painting, which she has pursued since 2005. She is currently completing her MFA at ECUAD.

Kocsis’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows locally and internationally, including the Geneva Art Biennale, the Venice Arsenal, and the Brooklyn Expo Center, as well as galleries in Montreal, Vancouver, Helsinki, Szeged, Toronto, and Calgary. She has received numerous grants and awards and participated in residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, the Vancouver Film School, and in Paris and Berlin.
