Juraj Bartusz
Juraj Bartusz (23 October 1933, Kamenín – 25 September 2025, Košice) was a Slovak sculptor and intermedia artist. He was known for his time-space statues and for his non-conventional approach to statue and object from the mid-1960s until his death.

From 1958 to 1961, he continued his studies in sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague under Karel Pokorný, and then under his successor, Karel Hladík. In Prague, he also met his future wife, Mária Bartuszová, also an internationally renowned sculptor. From 1963, they lived and worked in Košice. Since 1967, Juraj Bartusz was a member of the Kontretists Club. From 1990 to 1999, he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, and from 1999 he was the head of the 3D Free Creativity Studio at the Faculty of Arts of the Technical University in Košice.
