Tomáš Kučera is a designer and glass artist. He was born in Světlá nad Sázavou, which is known as the centre of glassmaking. Student of the Academy of Arts and Crafts in Prague - Rony Plesl's glass studio. He also studied product design at the Prague Scholastica and multimedia production at the SUŠG in Jihlava. His work includes a wide range of small product collections, but also free sculptures, which are mostly made of glass. Both blown and fused glass sculptures. Kučera often works with ritual principles aimed at awareness or representation of process. In 2021 he won the Czech Design Award. He was also nominated for the
Czech Grand Design, Elle Decoration Design Award, and Designblok Award 2022. His free work has been exhibited in Prague, at the Rossana Orlandi Gallery in Milan, Brussels, Lommel, Belgium, and the Boon Room Gallery in Paris. The artist writes about the offered work: A slow and intense excavation. Long hours of plastering the mass with sand and air. Imitating the natural effect on glass sculpture and working with time. Using sandblasting, the object is excavated into a crater that naturally creates its silhouette. I chose a massive cylinder as the basic shape of the objects for excavation. To acknowledge the fused sculpture technology, only the upper sides are polished, for the sake of transparency into the object. The peripheral sides of the object are left with the structure created by the impression of the plaster sand mold.
