NagyMolnár: The Geometry of Light II.
The magical geometry of the works of Krisztián Nagy and Csaba Molnár, the kaleidoscopic fills of the compositions, which formally evoke distant pulsars, planets, and galaxies, relate to popular culture, electroacoustic music, readings about various galactic journeys and science fiction. The stirring visuality conveyed by the works is appealing; be it some physical regularity or a simple grammatical basis.
The formal repertoire used to design the compositions is always the result of a heuristic creative process. The NagyMolnár duo uses light in their works in a quantitative and qualitative way – with the available tools they can produce any colour with the desired amplitude and frequency. By multiplying the forms reduced to the essential, from the combination of the simplest geometric motifs and basic colours, they create a system encoded simultaneously by permuting the two.
I am convinced that the grammar of this visual language, rich in ideas and virtuoso solutions, is given by intelligibility. We can witness the birth of a virtual world constructed from the bare compositional forms; a space built from scratch. We are dealing with a peculiar duality, a fertile dichotomy, as the objects of the Geometry of Light series become eye-opening due to the experience of the tension between the definite and indefinite nature of the spectacle.
