Petr Weigl is an artist specialising in remarkable contemporary art pieces created in concrete, glass and ceramics. Son of a Czech émigré born in England, Petr trained as a graphic designer before following his muse and dedicating himself to ceramics at Central Saint Martin’s.
Exploring the potential of many different materials and techniques led Petr to choose concrete as one of his mediums. Unexpectedly, Weigl found himself following in his father’s footsteps. Weigl senior, a civil engineer by trade, was one of the foremost experts in Yield Line Theory (a method for the design and assessment of suspended reinforced concrete slabs).
In a neat completion of the circle, Petr’s first one-man exhibition in 2003 was sponsored by The Concrete Centre, the publishers of his father’s influential textbook on Yield Line Theory. His ‘The Way We Were’ collection is dedicated to the memory of his late father.
Following his graduation, Petr set up his studio in North London and has undertaken many commissions both at home and abroad. Petr’s work adorns the walls of many private banks, financial institutions and private collections. He also designs and makes two separate awards each year for the Royal Institute British Architects.
Represented by the Belgravia Gallery in Mayfair and Woolff Gallery in NoHo, examples of his elegant work can be found all over the world. Much sought after by cognoscenti, his work has seen a rapid increase in value in recent years.
