The Spirit of the Wood

Juraj Cutek is one of the most remarkable Slovak artists.

He is mainly known for his sculptures of wood combined with ready-made metal elements.

Cutek's works oscillate between the imaginary and real worlds, drawing inspiration from history, music, mythology, and circus art.

His sculptures feature a highly distinctive style and dynamic rendering.

Although they are static and firmly attached to their base, each of them gives its own unique theatrical performance in playful and lively posture.
