Sculpture Line
Pardubice

The sculpture was 25.8.2020 moved to Venice.

The Guardian statue originally came into existence as a small piece . Last year I came to a conclusion its form as well as theme would be suitable for recreating it on a monumental scale.

And what can be said about the sculpture itself? As for myself, I feel these are troubled times, sometimes even turbulent, and the world seems to be changing for the worse. Besides other things, we perhaps also need a guard, a powerful strong guard. There even might be a time when the knights of Blaník will have to be called to save us.

Ape-man looking up into the sky symbolizes the springing up of ancient civilization; today, high civilization brings advanced material culture, yet the nature we live on is being damaged unceasingly. The perplexed eyesight and innocent face of ape-man reveals the desire to correct all of these faults and to step towards a brighter future. The title originates from my sense of social reality. I express my upset towards the deviated part in the ocean of civilization we live in with this series of works and appeal for more attention to beautiful things.
