Coquitlam, BC

Serge Mozhnevsky studied in his native Ukraine and in Russia before emigrating to Canada in 2000, settling in Coquitlam. He has gradually shifted mediums, moving from wood to aluminum since his arrival. His sleek, emotive sculptures have been displayed singly or as part of group exhibitions across the continent. His desire is that they evoke “feelings in our seeing.”

Embrace is imbued with humanism and emotion. Two alike abstract figures converge and meld, creating open space that accents the shared sphere in the centre. Mozhnevsky’s minimalism, balance and entwined symmetry exemplify his title wonderfully.
