About this artwork
"Periscopes," a captivating contemporary glass sculpture by Czech artist Josef Marek, is masterfully crafted from transparent blue cast glass, meticulously polished and partially tarnished to create a dynamic interplay of textures and light. Evoking the essence of its namesake, the sculpture manipulates light and perspective, offering a distorted spatial experience akin to peering through a lens. The interplay between the polished clarity and subtle…
tarnishing conjures an ethereal illusion of space, inviting viewers to explore the delicate balance between solidity and fragility. Marek’s minimalist aesthetic and innovative approach to glass as a medium make "Periscopes" a striking addition to any contemporary art collection, embodying his signature exploration of light, space, and perception.
