Lhotský
The studio for molten glass sculptures in Železný Brod is a world leader in the creation of monumental works of art and architectural elements from cast glass. A team of top technologists and glass cutters transforms the visions of leading international designers into unique objects that adorn prestigious museums, private collections, and sacred spaces such as Roskilde Cathedral and Barcelona's Sagrada Família.
The studio proudly continues the tradition established in the middle of the last century by legendary artists Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová. The current owner and successor to this legacy, Zdeněk Lhotský, is pushing the boundaries of the field through continuous technological research and original work. His innovative approach, including, for example, Vitrucell technology for exterior installations, has secured him a permanent place in the exhibitions of the most important galleries from Tokyo to New York.
A visit to the Kotelna Gallery, located in a sensitively renovated industrial space of a former textile factory, offers an unforgettable experience. The exhibition of works by Zdeněk Lhotský and his collaborators creates a fascinating dialogue between the raw architecture and the fragile yet monumental aesthetics of molten glass. A tour of this unique complex, which can be arranged by prior appointment, offers a rare opportunity to look behind the scenes at the creation of works that, in terms of their weight and significance, transcend the boundaries of ordinary artistic production.
