About
Igor Grechanyk has been passionate about art and drawing from early childhood. He attended the Art School, and the State Art Institute in Kiev, graduating in 1984. Grechanyk’s genius lies in his ability to give form to the abstruse. His works seek to map the collective unconscious, drawing inspiration from esoteric doctrines and ancient mythology. The artist brings forth inner, mystical elements of his creatures. His multifaceted images demonstrate a profound level of artistic skill. Igor Grechanyk has exhibited worldwide and has sculpted large, public monuments commissioned in Ukraine and abroad. He is the recipient of numerous Ukrainian and international awards. Recent works include a portfolio of 2D digital art, often based on his sculpture images.
Curator Review Pilgrim
A beautiful yet solemn spatial experience, can be felt in the dark, curved edges and brooding tones of this ruminative sculpture by artist Igor Grechanyk. Grechanyk’s eloquent and melancholy portrayal of a wanderer atop an emaciated steed, elucidates on his defining title and one can not help but be palpably connected to this interpretive circumstance. This moving work manifests the personal reflections of the artist and adeptly leads the viewer into introspection. - E.E. Jacks
