Description

This striking sculpture captures a dynamic figure in mid-motion, crafted from intricately woven wire that mimics the texture and depth of fabric. The artist achieves a sense of vitality and movement through the contorted pose, as if the figure is deeply engrossed in reading an open book. The open book, cleverly accentuated in burnished bronze, contrasts sharply with the dark, metallic wire, drawing attention to the focal point of the piece. The sculpture is anchored atop a solid white marble base, providing stability and emphasizing the figure’s upward motion. This work stands out for its innovative use of materials, combining industrial elements with an engaging narrative form. The tactile surfaces invite viewers to explore with their eyes and suggest themes of introspection and discovery. This piece eloquently melds modernity with timeless human curiosity.

Presentation

Karen Axikyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia, in 1963. He has always loved art and lives there. At different periods of his life, Karen Axikyan was interested in different spheres of art. First he drew oil paintings, then he started painting beautiful batik scarves, and then he moved on to the amazing world of sculptures.

In short, he is interested in everything related to art. For the past 15 years, he has been creating metal sculptures. It is said that he has a huge zoo with his different and wild animals. As Karen Axikyans says, he does not decide which animal what type of emotion the sculpture should have, he decides its emotion. Without having any cultural education, he was always in art, the only education he received was the artist who was his neighbor and he generally spent his time following the artists' works.

Karen Axikyan says metal is an instrument through which she can convey her emotional states. When creating a sculpture, her soul seems to be cleansed. Her latest collection is called "Little World" because the sculptures are so small they can fit in the palm of her hand.
