Georgy Frangulyan Sculpture

Georgy Frangulyan. Sculpture.

Frangulyan’s name is a byword for the greatest achievements of the Russian plastic arts. At the core of this master artist’s hallmark style is an organic monumentality – rooted in an interpretation of multiple traditions. After a period exploring the narrative and the superficially naturalistic, Frangulyan followed in the footsteps of his professional forerunners from the 60s’ generation, seeking to return to sculpture the primordial power of form. His oeuvre is eloquent proof of the view that sculpture’s raison d’être lies in dramatizing the conflict between mass and space.
