Wire Sculpture of a Lascivious Woman by Karen Akhikyan

About the Item

Wire sculpture, a medium known for its inherent rigidity and masculinity, has been transformed - in this unique sculpture that we propose today - into a triumphant tribute to the graceful curves of the female form. The artist has masterfully fashioned the raw wire, bending it, twisting it, manipulating it with precision and care, to create a sculpture of a woman with its long hair in cascade in a lascive pose. This juxtaposition of medium and subject matter is intriguing, the artist has imbued an air of delicate sensitivity into the harsh metal. Karen Akhikyan is born in Armenia in 1963. His artistic exploration has taken him on a diverse path, leading him to delve into various spheres of artistic expression: Paintings, then batik art. Over the past 15 years, Karen has established himself as a master of wire sculpture. Through his artwork, Karen invites viewers to experience the profound beauty that can emerge when raw emotion intertwines with the strength and resilience of metal. Today, Karen Akhikyan's work continues to inspire and mesmerize art enthusiasts, inviting them to witness the fusion of passion, skill, and emotion within each meticulously crafted piece.
