JAN FRYDRYCH

Jan Frydrych is a renowned Czech glass artist. He is well-known as an author of spectacular sculptures from optical glass. Jan Frydrych has been a longtime student and collaborator of professor Václav Cígler, who is known as a world famous architect and glass sculptor. Jan Frydrych started to use optical glass in the late seventies,in the eighties he extended this to laminates, inserting colourful glass sheets (blue colour) and metal microlayers. These images are, for purposes of lucidity, mostly composed of basic geometric forms such as spheres, cylinders, cubes, cones etc. Jan Frydrych is also a lifelong lover and collector of old clocks. He creates his own private collection of rare pieces. Under this passion he started to create unique series of luxury yacht chronometers, embedded to the massive pieces of optical glass.
