“Creating a sculpture is actually a bodily touch. Yes, you look at the image with your eyes, scan it, and then transfer it to clay, hold it in your hands, give it shape, breathe life into it. When a painter works, it’s dif erent, it’s more dif icult for him, he doesn’t draw a diagram, he can’t just transfer a schedule to the canvas”
He studied at the Uzhhorod School of Decorative and Applied Arts and the Kyiv State Art Institute (now the National Academy of Arts and Crafts), in Vronskyi’s studio. As a student, he was compared to the famous French artist Henri Matisse. After graduating, he spent 5 years in solitude. Before coming to sculpture, the artist tried many media: different genres of painting and graphic arts techniques. That is why Suholit’s sculptures are polychrome and surprisingly “graphic”.
Oleksandr’s work occupies a prominent place in contemporary Ukrainian art, he is called the “Ukrainian Picasso”. His paintings, his graphic and sculptural works are in private collections all around the world.
