most challenging and most respected artist working today in Czech Republic. His
artworks mainly explore the boundaries of contemporary sculpture. His practice
unfolds from public installations to small kinetic devices. He also deals with
the reification of material and the transformation of everyday objects that
both convey anthropomorphically referenced attitudes. He shapes the hidden
spirituality within things and reinvents its mythologies imagining absurd
possibilities of life and unrealistic uses. Accidental encounters between two
objects tend to create polysemous interpretations of the surrounding world. The
artist also accentuates the conflict relationship between objects and their
common context.
