Bonsais Gallery
Examples of KLIKA - KUŘÁTKOVÁ Studio collaboration with bonsai growers
One part of the bonsai in the gallery are the pots published in our catalogue. Some shapes were custom-made directly for specific plants. We are presenting trees and their creators, who decided to use ceramic pots and bowls from the studio of Milan Klika and Vladislava Kuřátková. It is a long collaboration in many cases.
The goal of the graphic art work is not to merely sell a thing. The work is ready straight after combination with the plant. To watch the fate of our pots, their inclusion in bonsai collections, their appearance at fairs or even recognition - all this is one of the greatest joys of creative work.
Most of the figures are taken from BONSAI magazine, edited by The Czech Bonsai Association.
