About The Artwork

In different ancient cultures, the bull was endowed with sacred meaning. Due to such qualities as strength, endurance and perseverance, the bull was mythologically represented as a symbol of spiritual greatness, power and indomitable desire for victory. The name of the art-object takes you back to the famous Roman sculpture "Colossus of Constantine", only a part of the sculpture – the colossal head has survived to our day. Kanis creates a memory of the ancient era of monumental plastic images of gods and emperors, creating the effect of an artifact found during excavations - a preserved part of a monolith, the dimensions of which make it possible to judge the colossal volumes of the original sculpture. The Colossal Bull's Head sculpture is made of premium grades of Belgian black marble, French red marble, Italian red quartzite and small elements of gilded bronze.

Alexey Kanis was born in St. Petersburg in 1983. During his studies, the future sculptor came up with his own stone-cutting direction and a unique plastic language, combining stone-cut sculpture with the physical embodiment of volumetric mosaic; he also managed to make several large projects in China and Russia and to interest several large galleries with his work. In an effort to simplify forms and cut off excess, Kanis inherits the ideas of the golden age of Greek sculpture from the times of Phidias and Polycletus, as well as the famous British abstract sculptor Henry Moore. Thanks to complete, laconic forms, even the most monumental works of Kanis look sophisticated and have a mesmerizing aesthetic impact on the viewer.
