Cold Glass Sculptures ‘ Tribal Chief ‘ by Jan Falta

Jan Falta presents a beautiful example of cold glass sculptures.  The Tribal Chief is solemn as if looking over his Tribe.  Jan has used his cold grinding skills to draw out the rugged details of his face and war bonnet. While the central body of the piece has been left untouched and is polished to a high gloss.  This allows light to shine through the piece and add another dimension.

NB. These pieces come directly from the studio in Czech Republic. Please allow at least 7-10 working days for delivery.

Cold Glass Sculptures Artist

Jan Falta glass artist and designer was born in 1979 in the Czech Republic.  At 14 years old Jan went to Nový Bor (SPŠ sklářská) traditional school for glass making.  It was here that he studied the conception of art glass.  Specialising in cold working, glass cutting and grinding.  Jan remained a further two years at  Nový Bor (VOŠ sklářská), the Higher professional glass school where he studied Art glass creations.

Falta has a flexible and universal approach to glass. Jan creates and presents his work in Novy Bor, a traditional centre of Czech Glass Making that has inspired legions of glassmakers and given them a home for their glass artistry.

Inspired by the natural elements that surround us.  Jan delves deep into the beauty and diversity, the geometry and array of colours that sit within our everyday lives. It is no surprise that Cubism, Art Deco and principally pop art are his favourite art styles. He combines these movements together and utilises them individually to create a collection of works that are both inspired and inspirational.

Jan’s work has been exhibited throughout Europe and worked with Jean-Michel Othoniel and the late Borek Sipek.  His work has attracted the admiration of famous actors and musicians, Phil Collins and Sean Connery both have acquired his work.

His pieces can be found in some of the finest fine art glass collections and museums and his reputation continues to grow year on year. He transmutes a simple medium into a cornucopia of styles and pieces that reflect his multiple talents as both a glassmaker and glass cutter.
