Vlastimil Šenkýř’s vase collection expands upon the Lovas series, straddling the line between fine and applied art. In it, the artist creates fictional, synthetic minerals that evoke geological structures from another dimension.

At the core of each object is a hand-blown glass body onto which the artist applies his own signature technique combining acrylic glass (Plexiglas) and sugar. The Multicolor series features bold horizontal layering and wrapping of material in a rich color palette. The overlapping structures form a tactile, three-dimensional relief on the glass base, bringing glassmaking tradition and material-focused experimentation into dialogue. Each piece is a hand-shaped, one-of-a-kind original.
