LITVAK | Jaroslav Matouš Bio

Jaroslav Matouš , born in 1941, studied at the Prague School of Applied Arts in the glass studio of Stanislav Libensky. Matouš creates his works in the form of painted, cut through and matt blown forms. A specific element is the addition to the glass of fine structures of wires with cast coloured beads and shards. The world of his creations is not filled with a dramatic story, fatality or myth. His inexhaustible sources of inspiration are landscape, natural forms and events. Matouš has become a sensitive observer of the beauty of often inconspicuous and everyday realities. His work depicts a reality imaginatively metamorphosed into the simplified forms of stained or cast glass objects filled with a spectrum of fine details.

Matous’s works have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States. His works can be found in the collections of Museum of Modern Art, Toyama, Japan; Kunsmuseum, Dusseldorf, Germany; and Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Lausanne, Switzerland, among many others.
