Until the end of September, you can admire a unique connection between art and nature in the form of the exhibition Sculptures among Flowers at the Botanical Garden of Masaryk University. This is already the eighth edition of the collaboration between the Faculty of Fine Arts at BUT and the Faculty of Science at MUNI. Michal Gabriel, Yogi 6. | Author: Václav Koníček The sculptures, which decorate the entire botanical garden and its greenhouses, were created by students under the guidance of Michal Gabriel and Tomáš Medek and are freely accessible to the public. The authors of the individual works used a variety of colors and materials, so some of the installations form an interesting contrast with the surrounding nature. Tomáš Zelený, Patrons. | Author: Václav Koníček Tomáš Dvořáček, Bejby Satan. | Author: Václav Koníček The students worked with classical materials such as plaster, artificial stone or concrete, but also with textiles or polyester resin. Eva Jahnová, Penguin. | Author: Václav Koníček “I wanted to try working with a material in such a way that the shape would be suppressed and play almost no role. And what is the simplest shape? A sphere. The shape of the sphere highlights the material it is made of. You can experiment with how you perceive the material and what it evokes in you. That’s why I created a series of spheres from different materials,” explained the author of the work Spheres, Tea. Tea, Spheres. | Author: Václav Koníček The exhibition also perfectly illustrates the connection between creativity and cutting-edge technologies that artists at BUT work with. For example, Sofia Marie Knošková used 3D printing in creating her sculpture entitled Vanja.

This ancient, evolutionarily unique group of toothless mammals is closely related to today’s carnivores. What has always attracted me most about these cute scaly creatures are precisely their scales – their arrangement, clustering, and the way they interlock when curled into a tight ball, while creating an interesting object,” described student Alžběta Trpáková.
