This comprehensive survey of the work of the Lithuania-born sculptor Rimantas A. Šulskis offers a fresh and incisive account of his creative output. Published by the commission of Sculptor Rimanatas Šulskis Foundation, the volume brings together nearly 200 sculptures, engravings and drawings to trace the artist’s wide-ranging and hugely innovative engagement with the human and animalistic form across various mediums.
Rimantas Šulskis may be best known for his distinct figurative sculptures that emerged during Soviet Union times, including a series of antropomorhic birds and expressive high reliefs. This volume devotes equal attention and explores his lesser-known engagement to drawings, while also highlighting his remarkable talents as a draftsman and engraver alongside his sculptural oeuvre. Of particular focus is Šulskis’s studio practice that highlight the artist’s working process.
