Экосистема 4 (2023) Sculpture by Iurii Rostislavskii

Yuri Rostislavsky is a contemporary Russian artist. The foundation of his work lies in observing the surrounding world, encompassing nature, architecture, interiors, as well as diverse objects. The process of crafting his artwork revolves around abstract geometry and the creation of something resembling a spiritual encounter. The artist is drawn to the allure of simplicity and elegance. He senses that the poetry and order evident in the world cannot be fully conveyed through mimetic representation, as the rhythms and interconnections between elements are intuited rather than visually perceived.

The artist believes that working with geometric shapes and manipulating colors offers a viable means of exerting some degree of control over this chaos. His artistic style is rooted in mental construction, emphasizing the equilibrium between form and color, as well as an abstract portrayal of reality.

He is captivated by unending patterns, structures, and lines, which serve as inspiration for diverse compositions. Subsequently, these compositions become the foundation for selected themes within series or standalone works. His approach involves perceiving the world holistically, singling out specific aspects - colors, geometric shapes - and studying planes and spaces. This understanding takes shape through projective geometry, altering the perspective of perception where the original reality coexists with imaginative supplementation.
