OBJECTS / MODULES

"In the “Objects / Modules” series, Lena Solovyeva continues to experiment with metal as one of her most favorite materials. “The taming of the cold medium through a manual, multi-layered process that reveals the nature and importance of the material was of utmost importance to me. Stainless steel is one of the most durable and difficult materials to process. The collision of virtuoso polishing and “drawing” on metal in my work is deliberate. While they are in conflict, they are also closely related, and this contrasting comparison allows me to emphasize both the perfection and the differences of each technique”.

""I am interested in objects that can serve multiple functions — the choice is yours. They can take form of low consoles, tables, stands, or bookshelves. These pieces shape a space in different ways: they can blend seamlessly into it or assert themselves as a striking focal point. You decide — a bookshelf for your most treasured editions, a display for your collection, or a low table for your coffee. Their position can be changed, and with it, their function. I work with metal, a cold and austere medium that comes alive through the gesture and skill of the maker"", shares Lena Solovyeva."
