• QUOTS 2019

  SMACH 2019. Constellation of art, culture & history in the Dolomites.

  The work “Quotes” by Nazar Bilyk is a reflection on what determines the personal feeling of the homeland at a time when most of its attributes are losing their significance.
  Is identity formed by place of residence while it is so easy to change cities, countries, continents? Is experience formed by the environment when personal connections are inferior to virtual ones? What creates genetic memory and cultural code of society when the information field is no longer limited by physical boundaries?
  Perhaps now, as never before, personal boundaries of the inner homeland are becoming more and more subjective and impermanent. These are “the quotes” in which a modern man seeks to incorporate changeable values, trying to outline their shaky boundaries. But it seems that “the quotes” only indicate the illusory nature and the impossibility of creating one’s own image of the home

  

• SOLO EXHIBITION “IMAGINARY DISTANCES” 2018

  2018 Gallery ArtJamp

  Nazar Bilyk’s “Imaginary Distances” project is a fundamental introspection with a purpose of finding the answers to the basic questions of our existence. What do we know about people we consider close at the certain stages of life? Does it make sense to dive behind the scenes of human anatomy and familiar social masks? What is hidden in ourselves, and how to see it?…

• “FREEDOM SQUARE” YERMILOV CENTRE, 2014

  Freedom Square is a phrase that challenges our controversy. It turns out that in Liberty, the notion of immaterial and unlimited, there was a clear material limit – the area. And here are important not so much physical quantities or geographic coordinates that determine the boundary of Freedom, but the fundamental inadequacy of concepts – Freedom and Cordon. This discrepancy has become a norm not only for city names, but also for people’s lifestyle…

• “TERRAIN ORIENTATION” National Art Museum of Ukraine, 2013

  It may seem that the world around us has long been known and described. In fact, it is still waiting for the artistic interpretation. Consider the main paradox of globalization: the more unified the world, the more important for it are distinctions and landscapes as meeting points of spaces and events. While the twentieth century…

  

• SOLO EXHIBITION «COUNTERFORMS» Bottega Gallery, Kiev, 2012

  “Counterforms” is Nazar Bilyk’s big project, consisting of works of different scale and character, but united by a single idea, which clearly reflects the essence of sculptor’s creativity. Bilyk is concerned about the principle of interaction between internal and external, tangible and intangible, the mechanism of emergence of the shape and space construction. The sculptor often uses language of a reversed volume, a counterform, which is essentially a void giving birth to a form.

  

• SOLO SHOW “THE BORDERS OF SPACE, bottega gallery, Kiev, 2010

  In his works Nazar Bilyk explores the boundaries of visible space with the possibilities of sculpture. Our understanding of space over the last two decades has changed considerably. From an ontologically-defined concept, it has become rather relative. The notion that you need to redefine every time.
