ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Anastasia Protsenko is an artist and sculptor from Ukraine. Abstraction for me is a way of rethinking natural images, this time through sculpture. Solar eclipse and the sun shining, the breath of wind and the shiver of leaves – these are the main motifs behind my works. These subtle nuances, hardly ever noticed by modern people, fall into an original haiku, which I am writing in the spatial dimension. My works represent the changing image of nature frozen in space and time, made of pieces of metal. I put my sculptures together using production "debris" and metal splatter left behind after casting. Many countries today are no longer using this casting technology, having replaced primitive processes with more advanced technologies. What is valuable for me is that I can still observe these remnants of the 20th century industrialization in present time. Each piece of metal, shred from the whole, represents phase change and gets solidified in intricate shapes. The energy concentrated in drops of steel gives off vibes of frozen motion. Each shape is an abstract detail created by chance. Each piece is a combination of my emotions and thought. Each drop of metal has its own character, the shape itself determines the prototype of the future piece. I collect them and create a new story, a new abstract image, where I find the crossline between abstraction and reality. Paint, an auxiliary element, completes this game. As Kandinsky wrote, "... form itself, even if completely abstract, resembling geometrical form, has its own inner sound."
