Vladimira Klumpar

Art Brokerage: Vladimira Klumpar Czechoslovakian Glass Artist: Vladimira Klumpar was born in the Czech Republic in 1954. She first attended the Specialized School of Glassmaking High School in Železný Brod, and then continued her studies from 1974 to 1981 at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague under the instruction of Professor Stanislav Libenský. Klumpar's work has been exhibited across the United States and Europe for over three decades. Vladimira Klumpar's recent sculptures re-examine nature and bring our attention to the enlarged forms and compilations of simple, organic elements. Seeds, leaves, trees, flowers, stems and pods are at the heart of Klumpar's formal lexicon. The objects speak to us through the artist's use of color and light as well as the measured translucence which allows us to enter the piece. In her most successful work, we strain to resolve the perceptual distortion of simultaneously viewing the simple organic surfaces while our eye travels through the mass of the visible interior to reach the opposite plane.
