Inner Ascent Sculpture

I am from Ukraine and living in Kyiv. Some of my sculptures are outside Ukraine and can be delivered to art collectors. 50% of funds received will be donated to the National Bank of Ukraine Fundraising Account for Humanitarian Assistance to Ukrainians Affected by Russia’s Aggression: ukrayintsyam-postrajdalim-vid-rosiyskoyi-agresiyi Igor Grechanyk’s acclaimed sculptures have earned him an honored position as one of the world’s leading contemporary artists. Numerous international exhibitions of his works have met with tremendous success. His style is familiar in artistic circles; to collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts worldwide. Grechanyk’s genius lies in his ability to give form to the abstruse. His works seek to map the collective unconscious, drawing inspiration from esoteric doctrines and ancient mythology. The artist brings forth inner, mystical elements of his creatures. His multifaceted images demonstrate a profound level of artistic skill. Bronze creations of Igor Grechanyk – surreal and symbolic – transcend boundaries to channel unknown realms. Their gracefulness and force of inner energy is impressive. The powerful application of contrasting textures, symbolic imagery and intricate detail of each work conjure the existence of a hidden mystery, both within the universe and the individual. His body of work glides effortlessly from the real world into the world of imagination. Recent works include a portfolio of 2D digital art, often based on his sculpture images. As a Dutch Art Historian, Poet and Curator Gerrit Ludinga described, in Igor’s sculptures “primeval power, beauty and elegance vie for priority…, the spiritual, immaterial expression takes precedence over and gloriously outshines the material reality of the sculpture”. “In fact, Igor Grechanyk’s sculptures may be seen as symbols of a spiritual entity. His art shows a strong affinity with Symbolism, which, as a reaction to the realism that dominated the arts around 1850, focused attention on the power of imagination, fantastic images and intuition”. Igor Grechanyk is a member of the National Artists Union of Ukraine and the Society for Art of Imagination in London. He is a leader of the Creative Association, “The Golden Gate”, founded in 1997 in Kyiv. He is a distinguished foreign artist at the Yuehua Painting Academy, Guangzhou, China. His works are widely held in private and museum collections in Ukraine and throughout the world.
