ARTIST STATEMENT

Kratohvil’s drawings and sculptures share the aspiration to investigate the relationship between form and space. In both media he searches for balance in the dynamics of independent forms and the unity of all elements as a whole, which is characterized equally by structural order and respect for visual aspects. Lines in his drawings, in the same way as the forms in sculptures, always imply the motion, rhythm, and speed of the movement in space, conveying potential energy. This is expressed in their mutual relationship and within the individual elements as an illustration of the vigor of a single moment. The inexpressible and elusive specific moment, that sculptures and drawings tend to enhance.
