Hugo Demartini

Hugo Demartini (Born 1931) is active/lives in Czech Republic.  Hugo Demartini is known for Constructivist, stone sculpture, abstraction, relief abstract surface art.

Hugo Demartini, a prominent representative of constructivist tendencies in Czech art. The sculptor was classically trained; he first trained as a stone sculptor under Otakar Velínský and then graduated from the Prague Academy under professor Jan Lauda. From the end of the fifties, he left classical sculpture and joined the flow of informal abstraction. 

His work was influenced by artists of confrontation (Zdenek Beran) and Šmidrová (he was friends with Bedrich Dlouhý), but he especially absorbed the constructive tendencies developed by Zdenek Sýkora and Karel Malich. From 1960, Demartini had his own workshop in Prague-Zábehlice, where he could devote himself to greater experimentation with immaterial techniques. 

He began to punch through the sheet metal surfaces, which gradually left the three-dimensionality of the sculpture to become a relief surface arranged according to its own laws.
