Maxim Wakultschik
Maxim Wakultschik's art consists of mathematically precise and accurate constructions that create formal order from the chaos of independent elements. In his complex and multilayered objects he ex- plores the interplay between light and shadow, surface structure and color vibration. Focusing on the effect of the reflexion of the ambient light results in oscillating variations of reality that constantly chal- lenge us to a proactive approach. His works perpetually change as the slightest movement, the small- est alteration in perspective leads to stunning new impressions, turning his works into kinetic objects. The edges of reality and illusion are blurred and become flexible constructs of the individual, which constantly challenge us to push the boundaries of our perception.
