| Biography | MgA. Frantisek Jungvirt, born in 1996, is a glass artist, designer and glass painter based in Prague. He is a graduate of the glass studio at Prague’s UMPRUM under the guidance of sculptor Rony Plesl. He has experience working for international studios and famous glass brands like Moser and Preciosa as well as cooperating with private clients too. He works across a variety of projects ranging from art direction to glass design. His work encompasses everyday products, gallery objects, site-specific artworks and limited series. He mostly returns to the most classic references of Czech Glassmaking which he associates with new impulses. He tries to move the technical and visual boundaries of the glass department. The characteristic features of Frantisek Jungvirt’s work include not only playing with shapes but also with colours or hand-painted motifs. He has been awarded several times for his work. Frantisek is a part of the artistic platforms: Michelangelo Foundation, Northlands Creatives and Erria Creatives. |
