Oleksandr Sukholit
Creating a sculpture is actually a bodily touch. Yes, you look at the image with your eyes, scan it, and then transfer it to clay, hold it in your hands, shape it, breathe life into it.
Born in 1960 in Chernihiv region, he graduated from the Uzhhorod School of Decorative and Applied Arts in 1979 and from the Kyiv State Art Institute in 1986.
It is difficult to overestimate the influence of Kyiv sculptor Oleksandr Sukholit on the artistic environment of Ukraine. He created entire styles in sculpture, combined a variety of techniques and genres. The artist is driven by the desire to reach the primordial forms, and therefore every time he works with archetypes: human, animal, plant.
