Lukáš Rais
Studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, in the Sculpture studio of Jiří Beránek, prof. Kurt Gebauer and Krištof Kintera. In his works he also uses knowledge gained during the studies of technical subjects: electrical engineering, mechanics as well as various industrial technological principles became the core defining the character of his creative output, where the spectator is invited into a world of "poetic industrialism".
Tree
The sculpture called “Tree“ is a generous composition of primary natural shapes created from metal industrial segments. The author, has been working with this material for many years. The author regards placement of the industrially processed sculpture in front of the Industrial Palace of the Prague Exhibition Grounds as symptomatic. From the point of the view of the time horizon, it is very probable that a large tree used to grow on this spot. It is therefore paying a homage to the basic natural forces that surround us.
