ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The sculptural composition "XYXX" conveys the idea of the symbiosis of two principles - male and female. The volumes are likened to the forms of male and female figures, which, as if being attracted to each other, are transformed into an indivisible element. Alexey Kanis interprets the two-part sculpture as a symbol of the relationship between people of different genders. XX and XY are sex chromosomes, a kind of foundation for gender ramification. The author examines the issue of differences and similarities in masculine and feminine: what divides us into separate forms, and what makes us a single whole? The white and black colors of yin and yang in Chinese philosophy reflect the interaction of antagonistic substances. The sculptor uses these pure and contrasting colors to create the image of opposites fused together. They complement each other, creating balance and harmony out of contradictions. My sculpture is pair composition . Men have a size 95*45*35 cm , woman have a size 90*40*30 cm

Alexey Kanis
Kazakhstan
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.
