 | | The Artist - Jan Fisar

All this is concentrated in this author's glass, especially for the last severalyears marked with a rarely seen concentration on work.
On the one side it is an indefinable expression, hard to describe, changing its experimental form all the time, and on the other side persisting with certain principles or rules of solution, but always sticking to absolute brilliance of execution.
Mr. Fisar arrived in the area of glass relatively late compared with other Czech glass makers, only at the age of thirty-three. As a mature sculptor with an academic education, he happened to join a

team which was in charge of producing large glass objects for EXPO'67 in Montreal at the site of the glassworks in Zelezny Brod.
Jan Fisar's glass was so attractive that he stayed in the glassworks as an artistic designer for a couple of years, and even later when he returned to his sculpture work, glass excluded traditional materials from the area of his professional interest forever (he only utilizes metal and stone as supporting constructions).
Though he was a self-tought man, he mastered glass technology very quickly. So everything his colleagues consider as serious technological problems, which are countless in the area of glass, Mr. Fisar considers as an opportunity for playing.
