Josef Marek – Freed from Gravity

Sculptor M.A. Josef Marek is ranked between foremost living artists working with glass. Josef uses natural qualities of glass mass and its ability to create the feeling of depth in a very short space. His practical sculptural training, exceptional talent and strong imagination gives him the advantage to approach this extraordinary medium from many different directions. Josef, in his simple, nearly minimalistic forms – perhaps influenced by his long stay in Japan – creates unreal spaces with mysterious feeling or creating objects sometime in impossible positions denying gravity.
