About the sculptor, first of all, is attributable that he became excellent on the field of the glass art, some years ago, the teacher of the High School of Art. Now we can see his works again in individual exhibition in the Art Nouveau Gallery of the Culture Palace. The public met him also there, on his first exhibition in Târgu Mureș. Since then we saw his creations on common events. In the last period he presented himself also in the other cultural centers of the country and abroad too. An important place becomes in his life the creating work. About this we can be ensured on his exhibition Square in shapes. It is a strange, interesting exhibition. On the first impression these attributes came to my mind, after that they didn’t changed, when I increased in the world of Nagy Attila. It is strange, because the glass is very rare in our showrooms. It is one of the reasons why he is claiming our attention. And his glass object doesn’t disappoint us. They are beautiful, full with ideas, the geometric forms as well as the organic forms too. They are absorbing, breaking, multiplying, transforming the lights; his sculptures full with colors are moving the fantasy. But more interesting are his sculptures, which are creating with the association of the glass with the wood, with inventive combination extraordinary, fantastic forms. Maybe some people wouldn’t name his high flier, back and forth swaying creations sculptures. Possibly it is more précis if we say: square shapes. They are completing very well the lower level of the gallery, with mysterious mood, forming a universe with surreal impressions. The strange, curved, wood panels with rococo secessionist patterns and the colored glass figures are making symbolic the contact between the sky and the earthly things. The eye, the wings, the bird, the wheel doesn’t want a special explication, they are long time ago a plain symbol. With the mirror of the soul the artist can introduce us easier in our inner world. And in the upper too. Because the creator is not just interested in human, down to earth phenomena. He wants to set on our attention on the over named spheres. Although the wheel of the time seems to be rotating without end, we know that our time is shortly, we must to live pretty, and it is worth to live pretty. In this we can be helped from the spirituality, which we can feel in this exposed stuff. If the creation wanted in that way, than with a “found object“, can be a wheel too, with other products of the popular art and crafts could concretize the piece. On the other side the myths, the world – religious symbols help to feel the secret of the life and of the period over the life, also what is unspeakable.
Of course the man is disposed to make everything too complicated, he looks for rear contents, there where couldn’t be. We haven’t a philosophical complicated exposition, if those one, which I have described over aren’t clear sufficient, it isn’t a problem. The exposition as scene isn’t common, it is exciting, pleasing to the eyes, craftsmen worked, it is fixing in our memory as a plastic creative ensemble.
