In the same year, the exhibition entitled LIBERTY - TRUTH was presented at the Flamenco Hostel by Mayor Gyula Molnár, and the following year, THE TRUTH - LETTERS by Klára Szarka at the Raiffeisen Gallery. Also in 2003, the Soós Gallery invited the exhibition FIRST CHANGE to Mohács.

In Leányfalun, in the Faluház, he put up a wall with his photographic material "This is how you shoot", photographed for the film Konyec. Iván Andrassew gave the opening speech.
In 2007, he was invited to the Kapolc Valley of Arts for the first time, where the audience could watch the matéria TITKOS VISZONYOK in the Teleház in Taliándörögd. The following year, he exhibited in Kapolcs, in the Falumalom under the title VÖLGY-ESTÉK. In 2008, Foto Mozaik Gallery presented an online exhibition of his paintings under the title WINDOWS 2008. In 2009, he accepted the invitation of MÜPA and curator Éva Hajdú with Ferenc Markovics, with their joint-couple material MA/GÁT PHOTOGRAPHS.
In the summer of the same year, he photographed in Ustron, Poland, the twin town of Újbuda. He exhibited the pictures he took there in the Karinthy Salon in Újbuda, under the title SZENT PÉTER TENYERÉN - USTRONIAN ANZIXOK. Ildikó D. Udvary, art historian, praised the exhibition at the opening.
He spent the winter of 2010 in Finland as the winner of a competition, as a delegate of the Hungarian National Museum's Historical Photography Collection, and at the invitation of The Centre of Creative Photography in Jyväskylä. That summer, a selection of the pictures taken there was exhibited in the exhibition space of the Taliándörögd Telehaus, organised by the Valley of Arts under the title - EUROPE IMAGINED BY EMIGRANTS.
Her first solo show abroad took place in 2010, when Galleria Harmonia in Jyväskylä hosted her exhibition GÁTI/KAPA, created in collaboration with Martti Kapanen. As part of the same project, he was invited by Lucia Benicka, director of Dom Fotografie in Liptovszentmiklós, to participate in a double exhibition with Petra Cepková - STORIES AND HANDS
In 2011, he was invited to Jyväskylä, where his landscape exhibition "FINLANDSCAPES" was shown at Galleria Harmonia.
In the Budapest Exhibition Hall of the Budapest Gallery, in the summer of 2010, an exhibition of 65 large-scale paintings entitled ÉRZÉK - KÉPEK AZ ANTROPOSZFÉRABO was created with the help of Tamás Török. The exhibition was opened by critic Miklós Fáy and museum director Péter Baki, and sung by Mariann Falusi.
In 2015, as part of the 100 Years of Houses series of events, a cellar exhibition entitled PHOTOGRAPHY was created in the cellar of a tenement house in Újbuda with the curatorial support of Géza Boros.
In 2017, the relationship established with Zsófi Faur in 2007 in Taliándörögd matured into an exhibition, and the "WORLD FOR ME" was held in the Faur Zsófi Gallery in Budapest. Oscar-winning film director Kristóf Deák spoke about Gáti's work.
In 2019, she was a participant in a duo exhibition PANORAMIC VISION with painter Dénesh Ghyczy, which was opened by writer Péter Gerőcs, and then her solo work REVISION was hung on the wall.
In 2020, the B32 Gallery in Újbuda, in cooperation with the Nézőművészeti Kft., created an exhibition and a theatrical performance combined with a screening of works by members of the Young Writers' Association, based on the works of György Gáti.
In September 2020, Artphoto Gallery opened the exhibition TÜKRÖM-TÜKRÖM / MIRROR, MIRROR - KRONSTADT, opened by the Ruthenian András Soproni, who presented Gáti's cultural anthropological material photographed during his 2014 residency month in Russia, near St. Petersburg, in special acrylic photographs.
. .
"... this is pure puritanism. Gáti uses depth of field and cropping only to use space, but as an instrument. You carve out little pieces of it and reveal each person's bug-like perspective of the 'big and strange' outside world. " György Jerovetz (Magyar Narancs, 29.07.2010)
'His latest series is also about a change of perspective, about freedom and the
the joy of creation. Previously tightly, deliberately composed, with strong visuality, his photographs now layered one on top of the other, amplifying, extending or even appear in reduced form, in the form of specific universes. It is a patient game with technique, where both patience and playfulness are inherent in Gáti's working method, the process of creation at the same time, it transcends the fun superficiality of the "game" and induces a deeper understanding. In this way, unlike previous sculptural practice, an even more painterly reality is created, where the creator more actively involved in the creation of new worlds.'

Album covers
Gáti, himself a musician by training and preparing for a career as a musician, started photographing bands in the late seventies, and then in the early eighties, with the support of György Hegedűs, one of the busiest photographers at the Record Factory, he began photographing covers.
His first published work is the 1980 album Hobo Blues Band, entitled Central European Hobo Blues, for which he created the back group photo. Two interesting features of the album are that the photographer appears on a reflective surface in the middle of the group photo, and he sings several songs as a member of the Central European Choir. In 1981, he photographed the make-up portraits for the single Tea / I can't make it up in the stairwell of the Hungarian Television headquarters in Szabadság Square.
His 1982 work is the concert cover artwork for the Hobo Blues Band's So Long We Were Down Under. He photographed the cover artwork for György Korda's LP Look at Me and Sing.
In the same year, he took the cover photo for the single Kötöde by Miklós Galla's GM49 band.
In 1983, he photographed the cover of the Rajkó band's album and György Korda's Look at Me and Let's Sing.
He then took a photo in front of a painted wall of a house in the 8th district of Budapest for László Komár's album Pale Blue Eyes, and in 1984 he took photos for the LGT giant disc and the Hit band's album Oké.
The cover photo of KFT's album Bál az operában (Ball at the Opera) was taken in the courtyard of the Kiscelli Museum, while the back shows the band in concert. The album covers of the Kaláka ensemble, Judit Szánti, Gyula Vikidál and the Budapest Symphony Orchestra were made in 1985.
In 1985 he was asked by Gábor Presser to photograph Sándor Révész's first solo album. After two photo shoots in strange surroundings, a series of portraits in front of a white room wall were finally used for the covers and the insert. He also took part in the studio recordings and sang vocals on four songs (I didn't know it hurt so much / Me and the French girl / This is the answer / Never fly with angels) as a member of the HIP-HIP choir formed for the occasion. The material, created in collaboration with graphic designer György Pálfi, was awarded the Record Cover of the Year in 1985.
After that, he chose an interesting location for the cover shoot of the album Budapest Rákendroll, also featuring songs written by Gábor Presser: his own apartment, where a rather strange group of musicians gathered. István Faragó Judy, Zorán, László Komár, Zsuzsa Rojkovich, Kriszta Kristály, Alfonzó and Feró Nagy, who pretends to play on Gáti Weltmeister's organ. Dolly Roll is also in the picture, but they were not at home when the photo was taken, so Péter Kozma mounted their picture on the back wall.
The cover of Judy István Faragó's album Silver Guitar, 1986.
In 1988, he made the back cover of László Komár's Elvis memorial album, and a concert photo of Attila Pataki was chosen for the cover of the 7th Edda album, Changing Times.
In Szentendre, he was a stand photographer for the monstrous summer TV productions, so he photographed the first shot of Tamás Cseh's concert New Songs, and when he brought the paper photos of the previous occasion before the second one. Gáza Bereményi looked at them and said: Tamás, we have the album cover photos. György Pálfi, a graphic artist, turned the photos into Polaroid-like copies and pasted them on the cover in this form.
The cover photo of Hobo's album Three Years Later Esztrád was similarly taken at the Hobo concert in Szentendre, as part of a television production by director János Dömölky.
In 1996, KFT used four of the portrait series images used for the first single on the front of their album "Bábú Vagy".
Tamás Somló, a good friend of Gáti's, asked him to do the photography for his solo album Semmi Cirqsz in 1997.
KFT contributed an archive photo to the album Sweet Life.
He photographed the cover of György Markos for the album "For My Part" in 1997, and then shot the album "Tűzkarika" in 1998.
For the KFT 25 (Jubilee Selection 1981-2006) CD, we have again used earlier Gáti-KFT images.
