Jindřich Vydra (born August 15, 1930 in České Budějovice ) is a Czech painter and mosaic artist. He lives in the Horní Žďár part of Jindřichův Hradec .
Life
From 1953 to 1958 he studied art history at the Academy for Art, Architecture and Design in Prague with Jan Bauch and Antonín Strnadel . During the socialist rule in the ČSSR, Vydra was banned from exhibiting. He was only allowed to produce "utility art", which he was also allowed to practice abroad.
Works
Vydra specializes primarily in the production of glass mosaics . He's now using a very special technology. It consists of applying several layers of glaze , each of which is fired independently. This creates special optical effects in the mosaic stones. The stones are then attached to acrylic glass . One square meter of the works of art produced by Vydra weighs up to 6 kg.
