Born in 1947 in Humpolec, Czechoslovakia, Frank Vondrejs graduated from the College of Ceramic Arts in 1966 and in 1977 he received a Masters Degree in Academic Sculpture from the University of Arts and Design in Prague. He worked as a ceramic designer until he emigrated to Canada in 1981, settling in Mississauga, Ontario. He created portrait sculptures in bronze of several of the principal dancers of the National Ballet of Canada in Toronto and had his first solo exhibition in Mississauga in 1989. His bronze sculptures of ballet dancers and of nudes are generally figurative with an irregular textural finish. At times the forms are voluptuous, sometimes deformed and occasionally they are given a polished finish. Vondrejs has exhibited with Galerie Valentin since 1992.
