Having moved to England he settled in London, initially working as an architect but he soon stated painting again. He had several shows at the Drian Gallery in London and in other English cities, in Budapest,Szeged and other Hungarian towns. With his vitrified enamel pictures he won first prize at the biennale of La Coruna (1988), Madrid (1998) and a prize in Budapest (2001).
Being involved in architecture revived his interest in large scale architectural decoration. Of these one could mention the show rooms of the Greek Board of Trade, London, School of Electronics of the Army, Arborfield, (bronze and Ceramics) head office of the British Scout movement, show rooms of the Chapel piano factory (laminated stained glass) both in London. Painting again he had several shows in the Drian Gallery in London and also in several other English cities.
His religious works include the set of ceramic panels symbolizing the stations of the cross, and, in the same technique, wall panels of Eucharistic symbols at the church of the ‘Allan Hall Catholic Seminary’ in Chelsea. But his most important work of this kind is the decoration of the Debra Libanos Cathedral (Ethiopia): Mosaic panels depicting the life of Christ (72 sq.m.), Archangels (26 sq.m.), Stained glass windows with motives of the holy Tekla Haymenot (160 sq.m) and decorative metal doors.
Endre’s works are in the National Gallery of Warsaw and Gdansk, in the National Gallery and Gallery of decorative Arts of Budapest, in the Mora Ferenc Museum of Szeged and the Usher Gallery at Lincoln.
