Freedom by Form
The white outline of a bird defines the image of freedom as an external form—pure, light, boundless. Within this shell, a human figure remains in a tense, uncomfortable position, as if unable to match the given silhouette. The work speaks to the gap between the idea of freedom and the bodily experience of living it. Here, freedom exists as a form that is difficult to fit into, and as a state that requires not only space but also inner readiness.
Artur Soletskyi is a Ukrainian artist, was born in 1996 in Vinnytsia, currently lives and works in Lviv. In his practice, he combines installation, video art, sculpture, and painting, working primarily with canvas and acrylic. The main themes of his art are the interaction between humans and space, the influence of the artistic environment on the viewer, as well as the exploration of mass psychology. The artist’s style is distinguished by minimalism, active interaction with the surroundings, the symbolism of the human body, and its deformation as a means of conveying emotional states.
