VASILY KLYUKIN
Biography
Vasily Klyukin (born 1976) is a Southern France /Monaco-based visual artist, sculptor and architect.
From 2012 Klyukin began to focus on highly imaginative digital architectural design and in 2014 he created a digital design project called “Designing Legends,” a book of imaginary architecture that was published by Skira Editore in Milan. The designs from the book went viral on art publications like ArchDaily and Designboom.
In 2017, Klyukin's work was introduced to the global art world with his sculptures. The artist has a trademark technique where he makes multi-faceted pieces using industrial materials like laser-cut steel, polycarbonate, plywood, or cardboard into 3D sculptures, which the artist mostly finishes by hand painting.
Mr. Klyukin has created sculptures for important international solo exhibitions at The State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, The Arsenal Nord during the Venice Biennale 2019, Kunstforum Wien and the Osthaus Museum Hagen, among others. Artist was also presented during the Venice Biennale 2024 as part of the European Cultural Center's “PERSONAL STRUCTURES” project. A compact exhibition of Klyukin's wall and tabletop sculptures was shown in Palazzo Bembo, located on the Grand Canal at the Rialto Bridge - the very heart of Venice. The next artist's solo show will take place in Italy again, starting next April, 2025 at the museum La Certosa di San Giacomo located in the buildings of the oldest monastery in Capri “The Charterhouse of San Giacomo” built in 1371.
Vasily Klyukin's works can be found in the collections of museums such as The State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Osthaus Museum Hagen, Germany, Das Seewerk Museum in Moers, Germany, the Museum Tower of David in Jerusalem, Israel, and in the private collections across the world.
Klyukin's large-scale sculptures are on display in public spaces of cities such as Malaga (Spain), Hagen, Bad Breisig, Moers (Germany), Lucerne (Switzerland) and Saint-Riquier-es-Plains (France). And from October 17, 2024 Vasily Klyukin’s 6-meter-high piece "Why people can't fly" is installed in the Gernot Huber Foundation sculpture park in Granadilla, Tenerife, Spain.
