Vladimir Kopecký

  

Vladimir Kopecký is renowned for his massive installations of flat glass and dramatic, rustic painting, exemplified by his 38 foot long installation in the Czech Pavillion at the 1992 Expo in Seville, Spain. Appointed to be head of the Glass Studio at The University of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague in 1991, Kopecký has broadened the artistic emphasis beyond glass, to a totally open concept of art in which students are encouraged to be artistically versatile and openly creative without regard to any preferences in materials. His approach in many ways mirrors his artistic career.

He does not see himself as a genuine glass artist, preferring to work on his artistic concepts simultaneously in various materials. His relationship towards glass developed through painting and graphic design. Recipient of the Gold Medal at the Brussels Expo in 1958, in 1968 he left glass for 3 years to devote himself to classical painting, directing his attention to conceptual painting. This led in 1971 to the creation of a number of objects made from sheet glass, intricate geometric compositions glass, derived from the principle of conceptual painting, and widened by the illusive space of glass.
