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 Zeppelin, Jaroslav Wasserbauer transforms kiln-cast glass into a refined, aerodynamic form that evokes the quiet elegance of a hovering airship. The elongated, lens-like silhouette emphasises balance and controlled mass, while the deep blue transparency allows light to travel through the body of the sculpture, revealing subtle tonal transitions within the material.
Through subtle surface treatment and the controlled transparency of the material, light penetrates the glass and reveals a gentle transition of tones and reflections. The work exemplifies Wasserbauer’s sculptural language, where geometric clarity and optical perception merge to create a contemplative object defined by stillness, depth, and atmospheric presence.
