This striking sculpture commands attention with its bold and avant-garde representation of a bird-like figure. Crafted with a minimalist approach, the work stands on a rectangular, textured base, providing a sturdy foundation for its elongated, spindly legs that suggest both fragility and strength. The legs rise to support a horizontal torso from which two slender arms extend outward, seemingly balancing precariously and evoking a sense of movement and fluidity. The head of the figure, perched atop a thin neck, is adorned with what appears to be a textured crown, adding an element of regality. This head is distinctly avian, further emphasized by the elongated, beak-like protrusion. Textured elements on the arms resemble feathers or wings, imparting a tactile quality that contrasts with the smoothness of other parts of the sculpture. This piece is a masterful play on abstraction and realism, where the artist achieves a delicate balance between the two. The use of mixed metals in a patinated finish contributes to its aged, almost ancient aura, suggesting the figure could be a relic from a long-forgotten civilization. The juxtaposition of rough and smooth textures not only enhances its visual complexity but also invites a deeper contemplation of the contrasts within nature and art. In its essence, this sculpture captures a moment of poised motion, seeming ready to take flight, while simultaneously being anchored to the earth. It is a compelling example of modern sculpture, combining classical themes with contemporary execution to produce an artwork that is both innovative and timeless.

Presentation

Jaromír Gargulák 

born 5 February 1958 in Brno 

Studied metal casting technology at the Brno Technical University and drawing at the Public School of Arts. He became familiar with methods of artistic casting and with principles of the unique work of Henry Moore. To bring his imagination into reality he uses the method of casting on the tapering wax model making at all times only one original casting. 

The author could rank with a range of both known and unknown individuals who purposefully struggled in the whole cultural history of the mankind that their inborn feeling and intelligence yield fruits which would enrich our lives, our environment and our privacy thanks to their talents and immeasurably hard work. As a sculptor, he achieves the mutual unity with the artistic opinion –full of phantasy which prevents fossilization- to find a brilliant shape in the material. The resulting work – artefact, mainly ornamental sculptures, addresses us both with its contents and with its perfect form, noble material and craftsmanship. 

The author's repeating motifs are birds, musicians and figures with wings. Even human figures are being deformed to the the appearance of fledgelings. Birds are perceived by the author as the symbols of freedom and liberty. And since he admires music, musicians often appear in his works, too. 

Jaromír Gargulák has become an individual artist of the middle generation, an author who does not bother to make his way through by scandal events or using a method of so called artistic shocks but rather by using the strength of thinking and aesthetic refinement, which are properties intrinsic to the graphic arts. 

His works are shown in Czech and foreign galleries and in a number of private collections for example in Canada, Japan, Switzerland or Norway. 

In 2001, Jaromír Gargulák was awarded a prize of the Masaryk Academy of Arts in Prague for artistic creativity.

From 2001 His works is represented in Interart Gallery Gor
