A few months ago, the outstanding Czech glass artist Jan Fišar passed away at the age of 76. His legacy, a vast collection of imaginative and diverse works, is showcased in this unique exhibition. This exhibition honors his innovative contributions to the world of contemporary glass art.
Contrary to most other Czech glass artists Jan Fišar completed a classic sculptural education; this can still be clearly seen in his glass objects. A part of his objects consisted of complicated compositions of slumped, sunken and cut hollow glass, a technique being unique in the world. The uncommitted design of his “baroque” glass sculptures convinced through the instancy of the expression and the originality of the dynamics. With his work he expressed on one hand philosophical messages and on the other hand he solved with them unique technological problems.
