Research 3 - Michael Pavlik



A piece of Michael Pavlik’s work was on display in the DIA, and I absolutely loved that. It was a glass piece, which is the first artwork picture below, and I wanted to see what else he had done. And surprise I loved it. It all is in a art deco style I love, glass which I love, and has a lot of different colors, explained below, which I also loved.

He is a Czechoslovakian (Czech Republic) contemporary glass artist, which is what I assumed from the piece which I saw. Chard deNiord wrote “Pavlik’s…combinations of artificial corners and natural curves,…prehensile arrows and semi-circles, interact in such a way that the infinite prismatic mirroring that occurs inside the glass imbues these sculptures with a metaphysical elegance”

I completely agree with this statement because when I saw one of his pieces in person I noticed the prismatic effect. Every angle I looked around put a new color in the center as well as a new tint around the edge. You’ll notice my picture shows it blue and yellow, that is not the only color you see, because I remember seeing orange.
