Vaclav Pozarek was born in Czechoslovakia in 1940 and has lived in Bern for almost 50 years. His sculptural vocabulary is influenced by constructivism, minimalism, concrete art, but also shows a great affinity for the ordinary everyday objects that surround us. In “Sweet Wood” Pozarek shows us with the simplest of means how small the leap from the artist’s studio to the children’s room really is. A must-have for friends of simplicity, harmony and order.
