Vasyl Yermylov

description

Mediums: wood, varnish.
Location: The collection of the Seperot Foundation (Liechtenstein).

The monument of the three Russian revolutions is suprematistically concise, close to the style of minimalism. In general, Yermylov’s constructivism is identical to El Lissitzky’s construction-punctures. Coloured geometrical planes of a different shape, similar to a tribune or a stele, rush to the ideals of their eras, stretch upward from a low platform-pedestal. Suprematist in its architectonics, the sculpture was created in wood, and its sketchy image became a real work of avant-garde art.
