^simplicity and nostalgia
Kind of dreamlike.

 

This sculptor was my favorite artist at an art festival I attended yesterday - Guilloume Perez. Plus a lot of the artists there were standoffish but he was super sweet and radiated a certain je ne sais quoi. And he printed out sweet little background stories about his inspiration for each piece.

 

I like the colors in "The Village".

 

Van Gogh's... I think it's "Olive Trees".

 

Woman Waiting for the Moon to Rise

Ukrainian artist Nazar Bilyk created this stunning 6-foot tall sculpture called “Rain” using bronze and glass. A huge raindrop stands suspended on the figure’s face as he looks up toward the sky. The work has several meanings including representing man’s delicate relationship with nature.

As Bilyk explains to us, “The name of the work is ‘Rain,’ which seems clear and obvious at first glance. However, it is quite broad and has several meanings. Chiefly, it is dedicated to the inner dialogue of a man with himself; it expresses interrogation of a man in search of senses, unanswered lifetime questions. That’s why the man is holding his head up.

“The raindrop is a symbol of the dialogue which connects a man with a whole diversity of life forms. The figure has a loose and porous structure and relates to dry land, which absorbs water. In this work I play with scale, making a raindrop large enough to compare a man with an insect, considering that man is a part of nature. Moreover, this work concerns the question of interaction and difficulties in coexistence of man with environment.

“Almost each sculpture is autobiographical. Senses and questions which fascinate me became fundamental in the creation of ‘Rain.’ In almost all cases, the sculpture provokes the viewer to look up in anticipation of the same raindrop.”

Looks Benin

 

Similar, but Ife is much more impressive imo.

 

Maybe these are better for 'Post a Picture of Anything'. I don't know...
