Valery Pchelin

Overview
Valery Pchelin
Valery Pchelin’s distinct approach to sculpture has been shaped by his early experience as a carpenter: different pieces of wood are assembled to construct intriguing artworks full of emotions. To him, the language of sculpture is unmatched by any other art forms: sculptures possess weight and texture, they are contoured by light and project innumerable shadows.
Based in the village of Afipsky, in Russia’s Krasnodar region, Valery is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia and the International Association of Art (AIAP UNESCO). Valery’s works can be found in the collections of the State Russian Museum and the Kovalenko Krasnodar Regional Museum of Art, as well as in a number of private collections in Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, Sweden and Austria.
 
Valery conceives his sculptures to physically capture the various feelings that surround him as the artist while also evoking an emotional response from the viewer. To him, the language of sculpture is unmatched by any other art forms: sculptures possess weight and texture, they are contoured by light and project innumerable shadows. With his Drifters collection, Valery has created a range of extraordinary characters who are cast in a state of extreme emotions. They are placed in a realm of perpetual conflict between the spiritual and the material, between good and evil. Such a state is an eternal pursuit with no eventual results.
 
“The language of sculpture is one of a kind. The sculpture possesses weight and texture, it is shaped by light and, finally, it casts a shadow. Its presence has an emotional impact. It is physically involved into the daily routine of a person. The sculpture and the person interact. I enjoy bringing the sculpture and the spectator together, both in personal and public projects.” - Valery Pchelin
