Vaclav Pozarek
Born in 1940.
Vaclav Pozarek is presented in the sources as an artist whose practice is multidisciplinary, extending in particular to sculpture, graphic art and conceptual art.
According to the notices consulted, he lives in Bern; one source states that he has lived there “for almost 50 years”, indicating a longstanding local presence.
The SIKART entry explicitly mentions the breadth of his practice, identifying sculpture, graphic art and conceptual art as regular areas of his work.
An editorial presentation describes Pozarek’s sculptural vocabulary as influenced by Constructivism, Minimalism and Concrete Art, while also emphasising a distinct affinity for ordinary objects of everyday life.
The book Sweet Wood exemplifies this approach: according to the text of the notice, the editorial presentation shows, “with the simplest means”, the proximity between the artist’s studio and the world of childhood, pointing to formal simplicity and the use of familiar objects. The material details of this edition are given by the bookseller as 340 g and a format of 18 × 25 cm.
