Ingrid Račková and David Suchopárek are a prominent artistic duo in contemporary Czech glass art, working under IRDS Studio, founded in 2001. Educated at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, Ingrid Račková trained at the Glass Studio of Professor Vladimír Kopecký, while David Suchopárek studied at the Glass in Architecture Studio of Professor Marian Karel. Their practice is defined by a rigorous commitment to geometry, precision, and conceptual coherence, elevating glass into a medium of architectural and intellectual expression.
Their sculptures, executed in optical glass, are characterized by disciplined, often pyramidal forms in which light becomes an active structural element. Alongside their sculptural output, Račková and Suchopárek also create glass paintings, extending their exploration of geometry, transparency, and spatial tension into a two-dimensional plane. Through layered compositions and restrained chromatic language, these works translate sculptural thinking into pictorial form, maintaining a strong conceptual continuity with their three-dimensional practice.
Breath can be understood as part of this refined visual world. Through layered glass, restrained composition, and a meditative sense of space, the work invites the viewer into a slowed and attentive encounter. Račková’s glass paintings have been described as layered images in which the air space between sheets becomes as important as colour and drawing themselves, allowing light, movement, and time to activate the work. In Breath, this sensitivity gives rise to an object that feels at once minimal and deeply alive.
