Bukka Дерево Резьба по дереву 1997 г.

Меня зовут Алексей Быков. Я являюсь скульптором, преимущественно работаю с деревом. Мои работы находятся в частных коллекциях России, США, Великобритании, Европы и Китая. Периодически участвую в местных и международных выставках и симпозиумах.
Для своих работ я выбрал дерево как теплый, естественный и живой материал. Дерево мне подсказывает скульптурные формы своим рисунком и пластичностью формы. Естественность природной красоты людей и животных — вот моя цель, воплощенная в дереве.

Alexey Bykov was born in Almaty Kazakhstan in 1976.

In 1995-99 while studying at the University named after Abai he took classes on sculpture and human anatomy from the professor of arts and prominent soviet sculptor Juravlev Nikolay Stepanovich.

To manifest the abundance and beauty of the world Bykov has chosen wood as a basic material used for his sculptures for its fullness of life, natural warmth and grace. Wood itself guides him during the creation process with its pattern and form which he aims to reveal and emphasize in his sculptures.

Though hardwood species are the sculptor's favorite material he works with plaster as well. In 2000s he created a series of portraits of famous actors in this material.

Influenced by the classic school and folk art, Bykov manages to develop his own style where classic shapes melt into exaggerated forms smoothly flowing one into another achieving a natural harmoniously accomplished look.

From 1995 till nowadays Alexey Bykov took part in a range of local international exhibitions and symposiums.

His works are in private collections of Russia, USA, Great Britain, Spain and China.
