ALEX KVETON —Having established himself as a mature sculptor in his native Czechoslovakia, in 1982 Alex left his homeland. He traveled to Austria where he created several successful commissions, which endorsed his artistic confidence. After spending a year there, he came to United States. Upon his arrival, Alex settled in New York City where almost immediately he began a challenging and successful career as Head of Art Division at one of the leading art and architectural metal fabricators in the United States.
For over thirty years, Alex has applied his knowledge, expertise, and talent to transform vision into reality.
Following his inspiration, Alex created pieces shown in numerous group and individual exhibitions and privately held in collections in North America and Europe. His sculpture of Porcupine Caribou, a corten steel ten foot tall structure, is on a permanent display at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta, Georgia.
Bernard Venet, Robert Indiana, Larry Bell and John Raimondi are just some of a few renowned artists Alex has worked with. He shares a patent for AlgoRytm Technologies with Dr. Haresh Lalvani, an architect-morphologist, inventor of curvilinear structures. Alex transformed Dr. Lalvani's theories into 3-D ethereal metallic creations that have started a revolution in modern architecture.
So what inspires Alex Kveton? Nature in its simplicity and beauty. Nature with its magnificent structures and creations no one is able to imitate. Alex is the first one to admit that he cannot compete with nature in creating something so fascinating and delicate as a leaf of a tree or dew on grass. But with his work, Alex has been able to make magic in metal, crafting his very own brand of beauty, his very own way of taking where the nature left off and finishing the job in his mind and with his hands, creating something very simple, very beautiful, very magical just like the nature would have intended.
