Czech Republic

Jiří Suchý attended the glass school in Nový Bor and then went on to study at the Academy of Art, Architecture and Design in Prague under the internationally renowned Czech architect, furniture designer and glass artist Prof. Bořek Šípek.

In his works, he plays with the ambiguity of meanings and words and he lets the viewer think about the feelings, opinions and thoughts contained in his works.

Jiří Suchý’s glass objects, which are mostly melted in moulds in the kiln, follow classical Czech glass sculpture in their design language. In his compositions he works with displacements of geometric objects, layering and blending them.

By contrast, his paintings, which he creates using hot glass taken directly from the glass kiln applying his own specially developed technique, are expressive / abstract.

In his photographic works, he mainly shows human emotions, moods and feelings captured in unusual, unique, unrepeatable moments.
