The word «element» is in the lexicon of virtually every man, but, as is often the case, the point is it possible to put different. For some elements, in the first place — it is a natural phenomenon, a cataclysm, a terrible disaster. Others assume their familiar surroundings. But there are those for whom this concept — the philosophical criterion. The basis of the universe. Exhibition of Oleg Batukhtin — is an occasion to address to the knowledge that the person is not only available from the outside, but hidden within it.
In the sculptures Oleg Batukhtin implements a general relationship that exists in nature, which is inextricably linked with all «natural» and «supernatural[br> tion «. He offers his own version of the search of knowledge and development of the world. Turning to the topic of «element», Oleg Batukhtin refers to the reality and the laws of nature, which for her (really[br> Yu) hidden. He is a three-dimensional volume of water, land and other elements, which for centuries were filled with sacred meaning, giving the person not only landmarks in life, but also the power to transform reality, the ability to set goals and strive to achieve them.

Using the knowledge of the figure and the properties of different types of wood, the author creates sculptures, which emphasizes the symbolic imagery. Some schematic allows to conduct their own parallels and entitles you to subjective associations, making the viewer co-author of the project and encouraging the viewer to think about the elements that make endless combinations of forms of life and underlying all existence. About this. About the future.
