Collection: GRISHIGIANO

GRISHIGIANO, A SCULPTOR ORIGINATING FROM UKRAINE, IS GAINING THE ATTENTION OF ART COLLECTORS ACROSS EUROPE. HIS EXHIBITION "FINE PRETENCE" IN MAYFAIR, LONDON — PRESENTED AT THE EPHEMERAL SPACE OF LANE GALLERY LONDON — HAS ALREADY ENJOYED GREAT SUCCESS.

HIS WORK IS ROOTED IN A DEEP PHILOSOPHY AIMED AT ENCOURAGING SELF-EXPLORATION AND TRANSCENDING THE LIMITS IMPOSED BY SOCIETY. IN HIS CREATIVE PROCESS, GRISHIGIANO ADOPTS AN INTUITIVE APPROACH, FOREGOING PRELIMINARY SKETCHES. HE DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE TRUE ENCHANTMENT OF MAKING, BEGINNING BY GENTLY SHAPING THE BLOCK WITH A UNIQUE TOOL.

THE NEXT PHASE INVOLVES METICULOUS WORK WITH A HAMMER AND CHISEL TO REVEAL INTRICATE DETAILS. HE THEN CONTINUES HIS QUEST TO UNCOVER THE PERFECT LINES USING MANUAL GRINDING AND POLISHING TECHNIQUES. THE FINAL STAGES ARE REPETITIVE, REQUIRING THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE STONE’S ROUGH SURFACE INTO A SMOOTH TEXTURE COMPARABLE TO THAT OF A POUR.

THIS METICULOUS PROCESS CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM TWO WEEKS TO SEVERAL MONTHS, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE SCULPTURE.
