Petro Starukh

Petro Starukh (1961) is a Ukrainian artist, musician, and writer, one of the founders of postmodern abstraction in Ukrainian sculpture. He often reproduces the state of political reality or invents his myths, which he embodies in wood, bronze, or stone. The sculptor breaks the structure of genres, encourages to go beyond the usual perception, and breaks established norms and barriers. The artist actively participates in performances, biennials, and international sculpture symposia. His works are kept in Lviv, Kyiv, Tokyo, Sydney, New York, Munich, and Rome collections.

Petro Starukh combines sculpture with music. The artist experiments with geometric shapes. Round, rotating elements change the usual perception of the sculpture, give it an unusual rhythmic sound, and smooth, soft lines are associated with free jazz improvisation.
