Vilem Zach
The Work
I'm sure you are asking yourself "how is it made?" Well, to help you understand the production of Vilem's sculptures, he uses what is called the "Lost Wax" process which originated in BC.
Before starting anything, you need to create your piece from wax or clay.
Vilem uses clay as it is much easier to shape, and once that step is completed the mould is created. If the piece is too large, or has longer parts that may not mould properly it is usually cut into two or more parts, depending on size and complicity.
Born and raised October 23, in Prague, Czech Republic, Vilem Zach spent numerous years studying privately under the mentorship of art professor Tesinsky.
Lets take the life-size "Torch Bearers" for example. This piece was divided into roughly pieces in order to fit into the kiln.
Once the cutting part is complete, a done made of either plaster or fibreglass then surrounds the clay to support the rubber that is later poured inside, thus producing the "negative" of the original.
The original is removed and replaced with three coats of hot wax.
Each layer must be evenly applied and completely cooled before
