"A színeken túl" - Tóth Zsolt Solo Glass Art Exhibition

Zsolt Tóth — Solo Glass Art Exhibition

Equora Spaces presents a solo exhibition by glass artist Zsolt Tóth, whose work brings together decades of craftsmanship, a family tradition of glassmaking and an evolving artistic vision.

Tóth’s connection to glass began in Salgótarján, where both his parents and his maternal grandmother worked at the local glassworks. Inspired by their example, he studied at the town’s vocational school for the glass industry and embarked on a career that now spans nearly 30 years, including 25 years as a master glassblower. In 2008, he represented Hungary at the World Glassblowing Championships in Finland.

Early encounters with artists and designers sparked his interest in glass as a medium for creative expression. What began with small decorative objects developed into goblet designs—several of which were exhibited in Frankfurt—and eventually a growing collection of his own glass artworks. His career has included collaborations with artists Péter Lendvai and James Carcass, as well as glass works commissioned by Hungarian painter Márton Nemes for his paintings.

Continually exploring new techniques while revisiting traditional methods, Tóth draws particular inspiration from the work of master glass artist Lino Tagliapietra. His own pieces reflect a fascination with the possibilities of form and colour, shaped by years of working closely with the material.

The exhibition features predominantly decorative vases, alongside bowls and functional vases. Inspired by nature, their forms convey lightness and grace. Deep black, brown and blue sit alongside the artist’s personal favourites, orange and yellow, while his latest works introduce a lighter palette combining white, silver and gold.
