Lot No. 25


Hlavička Tomáš (1950)


Cathedral
clear glass with fused silver flakes, signed and dated Hlavička 2016, 42 x 27 x 21 cm (Zí)

The work is from the author’s studio.

Tomáš Hlavička studied architecture at the CTU. He started working with glass in the early 1980s, when he became the son-in-law of Pavel Hlava, with whom he collaborated. He became a freelance artist in 1986. The author uses his own technique, with which he fuses gold and silver flakes with glass, creating an effect of waving grass or seaweed. He then cuts the objects into precise shapes, which have a playfulness of color and reflection, creating a sort of movement inside the glass.
