Michal Olšiak (* 1978 Žďár nad Sázavou)[1] is Czech sculptor and painter.
Biography[edit]
Born 1978 and went to high school in Žďár nad Sázavou. After graduating from high school took up painting and sculpting and also travelled often. Author of dozens of concrete, sand, and stone sculptures, installed especially in the region around his birthplace but also around Czech Republic, in Germany or Italy. Professional freelance sculptor since 2006 and sinse April 2013 has own galleryin Veselská street in Žďáru nad Sázavou.[2] The gallery moved to Repulic square two years later. In 2021 crated sand sculptures with a team as part of the exhibition „Cesta do fantazie” in Lednice na Moravě.[3]
Criticism[edit]
In 2015 a group of about 40 artists led by Jaroslav Grodl, curator of Oblastní galerie Vysočiny v Jihlavě protested installation of Michal Olšiak's sculpture Zubr in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem. In their open letter to the town council they argued that the statue is shallow tourist attraction, and public art commissions are in the hands of incompetents casing hardly reversible damage and unnatural deformation of the public space.“[4] Grodl also expressed indignation that the sculptures are made without input from experts causing disparagement of historically significant locations. The director of town museum in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem Vladimír Cisák, alleged Olšiak's sculptures destroy the landscape and don't belong to Chráněné krajinné oblasti Žďárské vrchy (local nature reserve).[4] In spite of criticism the statue was revealed on 20th September 2015.[5] Town Bystřice nad Pernštejnem paid 200 thousand CZK for the commission.[6]
