Volodymyr Filatov’s Dancing Sculptures

Volodymyr Filatov, "Adam and Eve" (part of a triptych), 1992-1994

There is a one-man show at the Museum of One Street in Kyiv: sculptor Volodymyr Filatov’s In High C presenting the whole scale of human sentiments, from tenderness (“Love”) to despair (“Howl”), issuing from a mature soul’s struggle to break free of the excruciating daily routine. His sculptures seem to be dancing, making one feel one is witnessing a soaring flight. Cast in bronze and wrought-iron, they preserve forever some of the kiln heat, believes art critic Vladyslava Osmak. They are lifted by wings that are simultaneously tongues of flame.
