About the Item

A very cool set of three post-modern Memphis style art glass flower vases by Czech artist Rony Plesl, circa 1990s. The vases are in very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks and measures approximately 5.5"W x 3.75"D x 13.5"H; they are all signeds on the underside. Cool collection! #4560 Rony Plesl is a leading Czech artist, sculptor, designer, and professor. Plesl’s work is strongly solitary both in the field of visual arts and in the field of design. Rather than challenging current trends, he has followed impulses from various disciplines throughout his life. Plesl explores the possibilities of glass sculpture, deliberately approaching it as a distinctive medium. He respects the work of his predecessors – Professor Libenský and others, who founded this relatively young discipline in the Czech Republic – while also respecting the history of the craft. Plesl’s sources of inspiration are based on his deep knowledge of art history and admiration for old masters. He has always been fascinated by the geometry and intimacy of the Italian Renaissance and the architectural opulence of the Baroque. At the start of his career, he spent four years in Venice, where he learned from Italian glass masters. He considers this period of his life essential for his work. To this day, he fondly remembers his contemplations on sacral architecture, which inspired him by its classical proportions as well as its exuberance of colored detail. The matte finish of the colors masks the natural transparency of glass. Plesl materializes visually powerful “sacred” objects from this amorphous material much like a sculptor carves out a statue. Rony Plesl lives and works in Prague, Czech Republic) ranks among top internationally acknowledged artists in the field of glass sculpture. His unique oeuvre emerges from his deep knowledge of quality glassmaking and the technologies he employs in his original designs and primarily in his artistic work. In collaboration with glass professionals, he shifts the perspectives of the possible in the medium of glass both for contemporary art and for his own body of work.
