Clear Glass Art Sculpture ‘The Head’ by Jan Falta

The Head, by Jan Falta, is a beautiful unassuming clear glass art sculpture. Made from solid clear glass the outline of the face has been cast.  Then through cold work, using a diamond edge disc the depth of the face is created.

The expression is also skillfully captured.  The ripples of expression sit wonderfully upon the forehead. A half smile hides what the thoughts of this man may be. Hours could be spent determining what they are.

Clear glass art sculpture requires precision and skill, all of which Jan Falta has in abundance.

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

Clear Glass Art Sculpture Artist

Jan Falta is a Czech 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.
