“Pegasus III” by Alexander Litwinow is a striking sculpture inspired by the mythological winged horse. “Pegasus III” weighing 3.3 kg and measuring 78 x 102 x 164 cm, is meticulously crafted from wood with elegant oak veneer. Drawing inspiration from the mythical winged horse, Pegasus, the sculpture beautifully captures the essence of harmony between tranquility and dynamism. Repurposed from an old chair, the wooden framework undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis as Litwinow ingeniously integrates interwoven veneer strips in a captivating play of curves. This innovative approach not only renders new optical proportions to the object but also provides a modern interpretation of geometric shapes, breathing fresh life into the chair and symbolizing the transcendence of static musings into soaring ideas. The seamless fusion of artistic vision and craftsmanship transforms the sculpture into a conduit of inspiration, where the static elements gracefully evolve into a profound flight of creative imagination.
Alexander Litwinow believes that the junk he uses as material for his Pegasus sculptures speaks of a life that is used up and no longer needed, waiting to be discovered. But when approached with feelings and the eye of an explorer, it turn something past into something alive. And then the loss of the original functionality is elevated with something completely existential, a new form of creation with a claim to space.
