We are delighted to announce that the Ani Molnár Gallery's new season will open with the exhibition Inner tangent, featuring works by Zsuzsanna Kóródi and György Gáspár, who have recently joined roster of the gallery. This joint exhibition by the artist couple, who rarely present their works together, will showcase pieces from Zsuzsanna Kóródi’s Power field and distorted space series, alongside sculptures from György Gáspár’s Handyman series, as well as his small-scale paper collages and assemblages created over the past year.

Zsuzsanna Kóródi’s art is fundamentally shaped by the concept of layers, which frequently generate parallel and perpendicular images that move simultaneously through space and time, characterised by rhythmic repetition. In her glassworks, the visual experience transforms with the viewer’s movement, continuously revealing new perspectives. These works actively engage the human perception: the eyes of the spectator are compelled to adjust constantly, while the mind persistently reinterprets the observed. In her Power field series, Kóródi explores a kind of virtual space beyond the circle, a space created by the interplay of colours layered behind one another. The resulting patterns shift with the viewer’s position, bending the space deeply into the wall behind the artworks.

The Distorted space series serves as both a linear and parallel continuation of New powerfield, retaining its three-unit compositions while introducing distortions that evolve in a more organic direction and employ striking, contrasting colours. Despite their narrative associations, Kóródi’s works remain arenas for optical phenomena rather than becoming explicitly descriptive.

In contrast, György Gáspár’s works are closely aligned with his own term, “narrative geometry.” The exhibition delves into the artist’s personal inspirations, childhood memories, and experiences of fatherhood, which are symbolically reflected in the harmonious interplay of layered forms. The vibrantly coloured, improvisationally assembled components—joints, gears, and mechanical parts—not only underpin the motifs of his glassworks but also convey a profound sense of playfulness. They remind viewers that the elements of the world can be disassembled and reassembled into countless new forms and variations, with each work presenting a unique world. Alongside Gáspár’s large-scale glassworks, Ani Molnár Gallery will also feature his rarely seen frottages and small-scale paper collages, offering insight into the artist’s playful and experimental creative process. This perspective aids in a deeper understanding of the layered structures inherent in both the making of his works and their final forms. The deeper patterns within the layers inform subsequent steps until they achieve a balance that simultaneously suggests stability and the potential for movement. This distinctive technique transcends the boundaries of planar compositions and traditional sculpture, culminating in a harmonious unity of interwoven layers through a gradual, deliberate process. Each artistic intervention becomes an essential and symbolically significant element of the final creation.

Zsuzsanna Kóródi (born 1984) graduated in 2010 from the Glass Department of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. During her studies, she spent a semester at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. Between 2019 and 2023, she completed her DLA studies at the University of Pécs. Her works are included in several private collections in Hungary and abroad, as well as in the collections of the Ernsting Glass Museum in Lette, Germany, the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest, and the Hungarian National Bank.

György Gáspár (born 1976) graduated in 2003 from the Silicate Department of the Hungarian University of Applied Arts in Budapest. In 2002, he spent a semester in Denmark at Designskolen Kolding. Between 2013 and 2016, he completed his DLA studies at the University of Pécs, where he is currently a lecturer. In 2009, he was awarded the Noémi Ferenczy Prize. Gáspár regularly exhibits his work in solo and group exhibitions both in Hungary and internationally. His pieces are included in significant public and private collections worldwide, including the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, one of the most prestigious glass art museums in the world.
