About artwork.
This is a contemporary sculpture based on the found original soviet figure of Seated Ballerina.
In 2017, in front of the Rockefeller Centre in New York, 13-meter inflatable ballerina by Jeff Koons was installed, the prototype of which was a Soviet porcelain figurine by Ukrainian artist Oksana Zhnykrup.
Having found several original porcelain figures, Oleksandr decided to refine them, thereby to experiment with the content of the classic categories of the beautiful and the ugly, with the superficial aestheticism and decorativeness, and, thereby, make the piece not so unequivocal, add new levels of meaning to the kitschy object.
This contemporary sculpture is made of the found Soviet-era porcelain figure of Seated Ballerina, Glitter, and Plastic ducks glued with Epoxy Resin.
