Metamorphosis by Oleg Lobykin

My sculptures are a search for the metamorphosis of form. In my work, movement reveals a transformation of the internal forces into the shape of a material inspired by nature and the life force behind it.
My early sculptures speak of the duality in everything and inevitable coexistence by connecting of tools to stone with intentional man-made marks and primitive scrapings. My current series of fiberglass sculptures take the idea a step further by re-imagining the arising of life from the molecular level as something new begins to emerge from an almost chaotic "cellular soup". These recent organic elements allude to life on a molecular level as well as technological constructions occurring in my own backyard in Silicon Valley that alter the way we experience and relate to the world.
