Wind Play
For Armenian artistKaren Akhikyan, wire is not a rigid or static medium.
What makes these fluid forms even more impressive is the fact that Akhikyan is self-taught.
Her hands grip the ends of her dress, the fabric rolling from her body like waves.
“Wind Play”
This is a sculpture in motion, and showcases Akhikyans skillful hand when it comes to wire and metals.
Another sculpture,Wind Play, is similarly expressive.
A woman stands with her back against an invisible wind, her tussled hair completely obscuring her face.
“Grace in Bloom”
Her dress shoots forward from the gust as well.
Beyond movement, Akhikyan often studies strength within his practice.
These works closely align with Akhikyans desire to draw out the innate emotions of his sculptures.
“Grace in Bloom”
Sculptures likeAmbitionprove that, at times, expressing these innate emotions can be a challenging process.
