Aleš Veselý (3 Feb 1935, Čáslav - 14 Dec 2015, Praha) is a Czech sculptor. From 1952 to 1958, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. At the end of the 1950, he was part of the art movement known as the Czech Abstraction. More recently, he has worked on monumental sculptures, often connected with a specific landscape. He sculpts in welded metal, exploring the tension of the masses and the activity of the elementary forces contained in the material.
