Petr Hora was born in 1949 in the Czech Republic. Hora began his studies in 1965 at the Applied College of Glassmaking in Zelezny Brod. Hora’s work is remarkably powerful. He cuts into the surface deeply using a diamond disc saw, creating a subtle interaction of light on the form. The overall refined quality of his sculpture is often enhanced by the juxtaposition of matte and polished surfaces. But always present is a subtle and mysterious light deep within these freeform monochromatic sculptures and a design sensibility inspired by modern architecture.
