NagyMolnar

The Mysterlight art project, launched by Krisztián Nagy and Csaba Molnár in 2020, came about after a lengthy period of technological experimentation, driven by the deep-felt creative urge bursting from both members of the art duo.

Their art inherit Glass Art and Light Art elements, so they mixed these techniques (glass facing, and light designing).

NagyMolnar works can be regarded as a fusion of Op Art and Light Art, but as there is no standard name for it, their artform could be called “geo-optical light sculpture”.

Light is part of everyone's everyday experience – our existence would be unimaginable without it.

As lighting technologies have developed, they have become an increasingly important and decisive component of our lives and our living spaces.

NagyMolar artworks are visible at the day light too, but the best and excited view can offer in the evening and at night.

With the help of their hand-built light objects, they attempt to shape light as a “material” into simple geometrical patterns and arrange it into complex spatial networks. Then, with the use of special glass mirrors, they place this “shaped light” into new perspectives, into “infinite space”, where it conjures up a completely different kind of spectacle and takes on new meaning. This innovative, darkness and light-based spectacle opens up a new dimension for exploring cavernous depths and vast distances, which they utilise to map out the universe of their imagination (black holes, space-time tunnels, pulsars, galaxies...).

By making light, also with using darkness interact with the physical and optical properties of special glass and by creating different geometric shapes and spatial networks, NagyMolnar aim to provide observers with a new visual experience, something to contemplate that has never been seen before.
