Slovak Contemporary Glass

1965, Streženice

In his artistic conception of work with glass, his objects–pictures constitute an example of its relationship to contemporary visual art. Macho works with abstract, geometric lyric painting using a variety of artistic and combined techniques on hot shaped sheet glass. His sometimes colorful, sometimes predominantly grey composite pictures just lean against the wall or hang freely from metal frames and hanging structures. His works of art are not just pictures, but rather objects that possess their own space.
