The exhibition of figurative sculptor Sebastian Wojnar presents a significant part of his work from the last two years. Older works representing the development, thinking and world view of the young artist from his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts to the present day will also be presented.
At the age of 30, Sebastian Wojnar has, after graduating from the academy, not only sculpting experience, but also several years of experience working in a top automotive design team.
During this practice he worked with the world's most advanced technologies in the field, which he mastered. However, his love for sculptures and the sculptural craft brought him back and in 2022 he founded the SW sculpture studio in Semily under his own name, in the historic premises of the 1861 Factory. The acquired knowledge, natural creativity and practice combined with the honest sculpting craft that is his passion now give him unlimited possibilities in his work and artistic presentation. He has achieved success in sculpture competitions and in his first professional commissions.
In 2022, he was approached by a national television station and became one of the three main protagonists of the Czech Cottage of Dreams project on TV Prima, where he was given the opportunity to present and present his works during the extensive reconstruction of selected buildings. After a successful first series, further episodes of the project are now being prepared.
Bringing works of art and art to the people, reaching out to the young generation, is one of the dreams and motives for Sebastian Wojnar's work.
In his work he is uncompromising in his approach to the themes and their realization. Only if he agrees with the given impulse can he work it out.
"The main theme of the entire exhibition is "faith". Faith is the connecting bridge between the other two themes, which are everyday life and family.
The central element of the entire exhibition will be a larger-than-life bronze TORZO OF THE VICTORIOUS CHRIST."
The collection of portraits "HOSPITAL GUYS" from 2022 and 2023 is a breakthrough work in the oeuvre of Sebastian Wojnar and is an absolutely significant work on the theme of everyday life.
A major theme is family, which captures the author's personal confessions. Portraits of children, sexuality in relationships, but also family baking of cakes.
The strong theme of "HOLOCAUST" is also connected to the family of the author of the exhibition, which Sebastian Wojnar is working on and is working on the realization of the sculpture. He will also present this work for the first time at the exhibition.
The exhibition will offer works in plaster or bronze as busts, torsos, but also an open set of sketches "BY HAND", or the already mentioned figures and portraits "HOLOCAUST".
"TORZO MEASURES MAGDALENA" concludes the theme of faith. "THE TORSO OF CHRIST I.",
which the artist has prepared in a limited edition for his anniversary, underlines the concept of the entire exhibition of sculptor Sebastian Wojnar.
The exhibition will be complemented by artistic photographs of the author's works.
