PETER SZABO
- GLASS ARTIST -
Artist Statement
My work based on creating internal constructions with applying the optical mechanism of glass. The layers and edges of the objects can be reflected and multiplied, and a whole system is being made of these elements. My sculptures have a very clear and simple outfit, focused on the inner geometry. A sort of duality can be discovered through it; the material and transcendent worlds as well as the essence of message and scientific, technological approach. Moreover my sculptures raise the question about where the line between the reality and illusion is.
