First Kiss

The first kiss is for me the connection of two completely different beings who have a taste for putting things together. It is about rearranging one’s life step by step, seeking how to unite such diverse perspectives on the world into an alliance that harmonizes and mutually supports each other based on their differences.

The first kiss is a sculpture I created for a wedding venue. The statue is cast in bronze and accompanies the newlyweds to the altar.

Verse for the scuplture was composed by Hedvika Vertelmanová.

První polibek

“Dnešní den nás láska spojí”
srdce zvonu zpívá;
“Navždy budeš láskou mojí,
dokud dech v nás zbývá.”

Dream

The Dream is a sculpture that tells the story of my dream. Not insisting on how things should be, but allowing oneself to be carried by life and influenced in ways that wouldn’t have occurred to me. Being able to let go of all entrenched ideas about how things should be and how they should work. And letting life flow into completely different channels.

The verse for the sculpture was composed by Hedvika Vertelmanová.

Sen

Rozcestí spojuje cesty,
v lůně se rodí křídla;
okusit víru od nevěsty-
v sebe a co čas skrývá.

Exhibition Sculptors of Mánes

In its modern history, KC Průhon presents artists from various fields. Whether photography, sculpture, but most often fine art. The current Sculptor Mánes exhibition is a challenge not only in terms of space, but also in its scope.

The exhibition runs from the beginning of June to the end of October 2020 at the Průhon Cultural Center in Prague’s Řepy and is also accessible in a 3D virtual tour at: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=KsrhNjgNzhK

This year it is 200 years since the great artist Josef Mánes was born, whose name the Association of Fine Artists Mánes bears. Beets are very close to the Mánes Association. Several streets are named after the artists working in this association. Makovského, Laudova, Zrzavého, Španielova and many others. The exhibition itself is in Socháňova Street.

More information about the exhibition can be found at: http://pruhon.cz/program/1384-vystava-sochari-manesa (available in Czech only)

We look forward to your visit.

Statue Dream

Statue Dream has a strong story for me. I brought the stone for this statue from Carrara in Italy some fifteen years ago. After a few years, I began to work on this statue, cutting out my dream of that time – the family – but I did not finish my work.

Then I got married, divorced, married again, started a family, and created a place to work with the stone. Only then I could complete this statue.

I also realized how much I love working with Carrara marble, how beautiful it is for me.

St. Barbara monument

18th of May 2019 the monument of St. Barbara was revealed on Masarykovo náměstí in Jaroměř – Josefov.

Barbora Chládková is author of the sculpture, but few other craftmen participated. Namely stone carver Hynek Shejbal, who prepared the plinth and cut out rough shape of the statue by model.
