Meet the Artist: Cestmir Suska

Where: Embassy of the Czech Republic

Date: 2007-04-16 19:00:00

Type:

Artist/sculptor Cestmir Suska presents his prints and sculptures at a Meet the Artist session and closing reception at the Embassy of the Czech Republic on April 16, 2007, 7–9 pm. The designs for this collection find their inspiration in Suska’s childhood. The shapes represent motifs from his parents’ tablecloths, curtains, embroideries, and wallpaper. Using a plasma cutter, Suska transformed large metal tanks into sculptures, welding together the remaining parts to create perfect spheres and columns. He used the smaller pieces that were removed during the cutting process to create flat designs laid on the floor and to generate large patterned prints on paper. Suska also uses lighting projected through his sculptures to reveal the dramatic play of light and shadow that emanates from within each sculpture. Cestmir Suska studied sculpture at the Academy of Art (AVU) in Prague, Czech Republic, and has received scholarships from the Vermont Studio Center (2005), the Sculpture Space, New York (1998–1999), and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York (1995–1996). He recently showed his work Rusty Flowers (Rezave kvety) in Prague, Czech Republic. Furthermore, he has permanant exhibitions in the National Gallery (Prague), East Bohemian Gallery (Pardubice), Komercni banka (Prague), Arhus Kunstbygning, and others including private collections in the Czech Republic and abroad. For more information about Suska, go to www.suska.cz. Suska’s sculptures are currently on display on the grounds of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Washington, DC until April 16, 2007.
