3D Modeling – Roman Ivanyuchenko

A series of sculptures, fiberglass, steel, polymer paint, approx. height up to 6.5 m.

Alain de Lille was a mystic and a commentator on the Apocalypse. Here is our version of Apocalypse. We present an apocalyptic parade, which does not constitute the end of the old world. It's the beginning of a new one. The Angels-Demons are infants.

They are all new born and, like embryos, all have tails, long or short, sometimes just pushing through their nappies. All have wings, also of varying sizes. The clear difference between angels and demons, which is common to all cultures, does not exist here. Evil may look like good and vice versa.

The resemble twins – every angel has an identical brother. Or sister. We can't tell which gender as they're at the age when human infants have a strong outward resemblance to each other and are impossible to tell apart. They have the faces of peoples who never settled in Europe but towards whom Europe strived.

Welcome to the new age.
