"Libenský Brychtová : Silhouettes of the Town" exhibition opened at the Eagle Gallery of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts on September 11, 2010 in the presence of artist Jaroslava Brychtová herself.
In 1988, the destructive power of nature shook the foundations of the northern regions of Armenia, leaving numerous cities and villages in ruins. The Libenský Brychtová sculptures, "Silhouettes of the Town," are the artists' response to the deadly disaster which claimed the lives of thousands; the sculptures expressing the tragedy of human suffering.
The exhibition "Libenský Brychtová: Silhouettes of the Town" reveals the limitless creativity of the Czech couple and their ability to transform the medium of glass and create a unique expression of form through light and space. Stanislav Libenský (1921-2002) and Jaroslava Brychtová (b. 1924) gave a new meaning to the application of glass and explored new creative horizons for it.
This exhibition is yet another sign of the bond that exists between the famous Czech artists Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová and Armenia.
The visitors were greeted by the Acting Executive Director of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts Vahagn Marabyan and sculptor Jaroslava Brychtová.
