Revealed, 2014

After completing her studies at the Secondary Professional School of Applied Glass Art (SUPŠS) in the northern Bohemian town of Železný Brod, Vladimíra Klumpar went on to study at the Professor Stanislav Libenský Glass Studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (VŠUP), from which she graduated in 1981. Along with Jaroslava Brychtová, Stanislav Libenský served to symbolise an insurgent contemporary boom in Czech cast glass sculpting – a technology that stretches back to ancient times – but one only finely honed during the mid-20th century in Czechoslovakia.

Vladimíra Klumpar, lived and worked in the US (1985-1998), Mexico (from 1989), and also in the Czech Republic (from 2000). Klumpar’s glass art works, often presented via striking, dominant colours, can be characterised as both dynamic and vibrant.

They possess a kind of internal vibration, restlessness, quivering, thus reflecting a mode of communication inherent to both the planet on which they reside, and the entities who brought about their existence. And such powerful art explains why Vladimír Klumpar is one of the most dynamic contemporary creative forces of her generation – for she does not treat glass as just another material, but rather as a unique natural manifestation; a kind of fifth element.
