Serác Václav

Born: 1931, Czech Republic, Cakovice    Died: 2021

Ceramicist and sculptor. Šerák worked in ceramics from the age of 16. His practice ranged from industrial design in porcelain for both decorative pieces and tableware to sculptural and architectural work. Šerák’s work is characterised by the uses of pieces of wheel-thrown forms torn and cut and then reconstructed into sculptural forms.

His work forms part of the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum as well as in Faenza and his native Prague. Šerák was Professor at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague. In 1993 he demonstrated his work at the International Ceramics Festival in Aberystwyth.
