Three Leagues Deep

Slavo Cech turned his hand to wrought iron after studying art history and painting and exploring a variety of other media. In the 20 years since, he has created beautifully formed sculptures on an intimate scale as well as large site-specific showpieces, all with his characteristic softness of line and curve, intricacy, strength and sense of movement and fluidity. In service of his pieces, Cech has mastered traditional blacksmithing and modern techniques, such as jet cutting and continues to evolve his practice, working alone on expressive artworks or with architects and designers on commercial pieces.
