Jiri Ladocha |
Born in former Czechoslovakia, Jiri Ladocha works from a sunlit Toronto atelier alive with whispers of the old-world. However, Ladocha’s sculptures and three-dimensional wall pieces exist in a balanced counterpoint to his Eastern European roots. Often, they betray a tense dialectic between the rigid austerity of Minimalism and the romance of flowing organic lines. Crisp, sure-handed, and post-minimal, his creations reflect meticulous labor and decades of experience. Wood, glass, aluminum, fine metal leaf, plaster, graphite, and pigment are samples of the materials given new life through honed aesthetic sensibility, and reborn in Ladocha’s expert hands. Jiri Ladocha’s work is found in collections and museums throughout Europe and North America.
