Matyáš Chochola Debuts 3D Printed Concrete Sculptures at Frieze Sculpture 2026
At Frieze Sculpture 2026 in London's The Regent's Park, Czech artist Matyáš Chochola showcases three 3D printed concrete sculptures: BRUTALIST, METEOR, and MACE II, which will be on display until November 1, 2026. These pieces are part of his larger twelve-sculpture series titled Virtues and Vices of Our Time: 300 Years Later, reinterpreting the Baroque works of Matthias Bernard Braun. Each sculpture, created in collaboration with Voxell, reaches heights of three to four meters and weighs approximately one ton, utilizing cutting-edge 3D printing methods. Curated by Fatoş Üstek, the project examines the interaction between sculpture, its environment, and viewers, with BRUTALIST blending classical and Brutalist styles, METEOR featuring cosmic themes, and MACE II inspired by Brutalism and 1980s science fiction.
