Jaroslav Wasserbauer stands within the distinguished lineage of Czech studio glass artists who have shaped glass into a serious sculptural medium. Building on the legacy of figures such as Stanislav Libenský, Jaroslava Brychtová, and Vladimír Kopecký, he has developed a highly individual artistic language rooted in kiln-cast glass. His sculptures are defined by geometric clarity, disciplined control of mass, and a strong architectural sensibility, often evoking crystalline structures and abstract spatial forms. Through the interplay of polished and matte surfaces, light penetrates the interior of the glass, creating a remarkable sense of depth and quiet monumentality.
In Equilibrium II, Jaroslav Wasserbauer explores one of the most fundamental principles of sculpture: balance.
Composed of two geometrically pure forms, a monumental vertical plane and a circular element delicately resting against it, the work achieves a remarkable sense of equilibrium through proportion, restraint and spatial tension. The sculpture appears both stable and precarious, inviting the viewer to contemplate the subtle relationship between weight, gravity and harmony.
Executed in fused glass, the work reflects Wasserbauer's longstanding commitment to simplicity, architectural clarity and the expressive potential of light. Rather than relying on ornament, the sculpture allows form itself to become the language through which balance is experienced.
As natural light changes throughout the day, the translucent surfaces reveal shifting depths and delicate tonal variations, reinforcing the quiet dialogue between material, space and perception. In Equilibrium II, equilibrium is not presented as a static condition, but as a living state of continuous balance. This approach reflects Wasserbauer's broader artistic philosophy, in which geometric abstraction, architectural influence and the unique optical qualities of fused glass combine to create sculpture of remarkable clarity and presence.
