Stanislav Libenský Award 2024

Winners of Stanislav Libenský Award 2024

The Stanislav Libenský Award international glass prize was initiated and organised by the Prague Gallery of Czech Glass. It is open to young artists worldwide, graduates of bachelor's or master's degrees who used glass in their final work. The Gallery has shown 480 artists from 76 schools in Prague throughout its history. Forty-one nationalities were represented. In connection with the exhibition, a rich accompanying programme is regularly organized. Works by leading Czech glassmakers and global examples of young artists can be viewed at the Gallery.

FIRST: The Melody of Memories by Wai Tung Jocelyn Chan, Hong Kong & United States

This is an expression of music in glass that we haven’t seen before. Using glass in a pure poetic way without any sounds allows us to contemplate it in a personal way.

SECOND: Frozen Raindrops by Akari Nishizawa, Japan

This work is close to everyday natural experience, translated into glass. Splashing rain is interpreted artistically in a way that lets us almost hear the sound of the water drops.

THIRD: Town Square by Kata Czinege, Hungary

On first impression, it is mistakenly a simple and abstract installation. On closer inspection, however, the compositional and content value becomes apparent. The experience of socialist living conditions is transformed into a work of art.
