Vratislav Karel Novák a jeho kinetické plastiky v Libereckém kraji

Sculptor and jeweler Vratislav Karel Novák created many small and monumental interior and exterior realizations of metal sculptures. He worked as a sculptor, blacksmith, restorer, designer, jeweler and since 1990 also as a teacher. During these years of his professional career, he pursued all these specializations at the same time. Movement and mechanics are important in his work, reflecting the author‘s admiration for technology. In connection with public space, he implemented twenty large projects in the Liberec Region mainly through public contracts - sculptures and signs for public buildings. His artwork is significant and unique in the context of Czech and world sculpture.
