Biography

Serge Mozhnevsky (Outdoor/Public Sculpture)

Serge Mozhnevsky (Outdoor/Public Sculpture) is a sculptor originally from Russia and now based in Vancouver, BC. In his practice, Serge Mozhnevsky (Outdoor Sculpture) favours abstract sculpture, often building large-scale metal works for outdoor, public spaces, as well as gallery-oriented wood sculpture. It’s easy to draw parallels between Serge’s metal sculptures and those of 20th century greats like Richard Serra or Anthony Caro. There’s an equal emphasis, in Serge’s works, on form and a sense of power. These sculptures are often built out of aluminum, which, brushed to a polish, carries a texture almost reminiscent of crushed velvet. The look and feel of these outdoor sculptures seem to vary depending on the ambient light levels and the season.

It’s easy to draw parallels between Serge’s metal sculptures and those of 20th century greats like Richard Serra or Anthony Caro. There’s an equal emphasis, in Serge’s works, on form and a sense of power. These sculptures are often built out of aluminum, which, brushed to a polish, carries a texture almost reminiscent of crushed velvet. The look and feel of these outdoor sculptures seem to vary depending on the ambient light levels and the season.

In his wood sculptures, Serge utilizes the same attention to smooth, abstract form, sometimes suggesting human or animate figures while at other times pursuing a completely abstract sense of movement. These wood works remind me of pieces by Larry Scaturro, as well.

For more than ten years, Serge's sculptures travelled through numerous outdoor sculpture programs in Canada and the United States. Some of them have become part of permanent collections of those places, such as Mayo Clinic in Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Corvallis, Oregon; City of Nelson, British Columbia; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Castlegar, British Columbia; Marble Falls, Texas; Uzhhorod National University in Uzhhorod, Ukraine; The Alexander Dubcek University of Trencin, Slovakia; The University of Oradea, Romania.

For Serge, the sculpture has a language of its own. He communicates through his sculptures with the world, and language is expressive as it provides the opportunity for observation and reflection through the sculpture for and among all of us.
