Biography
Oto Macek is a contemporary Czech artist. Macek's paintings form the cornerstone of his artistic expression, and what sets them apart is the innovative use of cement as the foundational medium.
His creative process involves layering relief elements upon this cement canvas, carefully constructing compositions that seamlessly merge the realms of imagination and reality. Once the structure is meticulously crafted, Macek brings his paintings to life through the application of oil and acrylic paints, infusing vibrant colors that captivate the viewer's senses. The final touch comes with a lacquer finish, adding a layer of depth and permanence to each masterpiece.
In addition to his prowess in painting, Macek's foray into glasswork is equally noteworthy. His preference lies in crafting glass sculptures using studio glass, with a particular fondness for materials such as uranium and lead glass. The process begins with the meticulous modeling of the object in clay, followed by the transformation of its form into plaster. The true magic happens in the glass furnace, where the object is melted into existence. Subsequent phases involve the careful grinding and polishing of the glass, resulting in sculptures that evoke a harmonious blend of contemporary and historical architectural influences.
Macek's sculptures, echoing the spirit of various architectural styles, serve as testaments to his keen observation of both past and present. The global appeal of his artwork is evident in the widespread recognition and acquisition by private collectors around the world, with a notable presence in the United States, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, England, Japan, Italy, Austria, and, of course, his native Czech Republic.
The impact of Oto Macek's artistic contributions extends beyond private collections, as his works find a home in prestigious institutions such as the North Bohemian Museum in Liberec and the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague. These collections stand as a testament to Macek's enduring influence on the art world and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity in both painting and glass sculpture.
