Plastika s fontánou

Plastika s fontánou is a modernist fountain sculpture positioned at the entrance of Na Homolce Hospital in Motol. The work combines stainless steel, steel, granite, and marble into a layered composition where water flows across different material surfaces.

The sculpture was created in 1989 by artist Zbyněk Runczik during a pivotal moment in Czechoslovak history. Its completion coincided with the period when public art installations began appearing more openly in institutional settings.

The sculpture represents a modern approach to public art in medical settings, integrating water elements with industrial materials in contemporary Czech design.

The sculpture sits directly at the hospital's main entrance and is easily accessible from pedestrian pathways. The space remains open to the public and works best viewed during daylight hours when the water features are clearly visible.

The work creates striking visual contrast by pairing cold metal finishes with warm stone tones throughout its design. As water cascades across the various surfaces, each material produces distinct sounds and flow patterns that shift throughout the day.
