"Trichodon" by Lukáš Rais, 2023
Náměstí Franze Kafky, Staré Město
Prague, September 2024
"Lukáš Rais’ path to art was certainly not a straightforward one. First he worked as an electrician, then he trained as a cook and only then did he start studying at the Academy of Arts and Crafts in the sculpture studio. The relationship to technology is also reflected in his artwork, for which he uses pipes, which are building elements of pipelines for the chemical or food industry. Lukáš Rais buys them all over the world (Pakistan, China, Holland, Norway, Finland, Romania, Italy, Ukraine) and then bends and interweaves them to create abstract shapes. His team includes welders, machine mechanics, designers – that’s why his work is called industrial poetics." (Trichodon, Our Beautiful Prague)
