The Artist - Jan Fisar

He likes playing, as he himself says with humour. Therefore he takes a challenge shaping glass by so-called slumped glass, and he even applies the method to huge material, usually processed in quite a different way - e.g. cutting.

These atypical procedures result in the logically unseen optical profits of his works, which achieve a strong sensual quality.

In spite of working with glass Jan Fisar still thinks as a sculptor. From the purely artistic point of view, he solves relations between space and glass material. However, it is not only the space outside the sculpture. As glass is transparent, the
space arrangement inside the object is also involved. It does not matter whether the space is physically real or real in its illusion. They often coalesce, flow into each other, and they even seem to become extinct and arise again to a person who goes round and perceives the objects.

It is impossible to describe these effects in words, as incomprehensive and indefinable things are involved. And Jan Fisar's objects have a certain mystery derived from the dynamics coded either into the composition itself, or into a reflected motion, or into the changing daylight.

They are alive, they both accept and omit information - in their own way.
