MICHAEL VAYNMAN

CONTEMPORARY SCULPTURE

It is about the poetic, the indefinable aesthetic, and the notion of beauty as expressed through the 3D medium of sculpture. 

"I create sculpture that explores notions of beauty, the Sublime and that indefinable, poetic aesthetic of the human condition.
My interest is in the synthesis of geometries with organic forms such as the human figure. The structure of my work lays in the interplay of line and shape and how that relates to the entirety of the whole form. The main intention of my art is to bring quiet contemplation to the mind and involve the person in the aesthetic experience". 

Born to a family of artists, Michael Vaynman has participated in exhibitions since the age of ten. He excelled in sculpture, printmaking, painting and drawing. However sculpture became his focus ten years ago and he has never looked back.

Michael has worked in numerous mediums such as clay, plaster, synthetic resins and steel. However stainless steel and bronze are his preferred mediums.

Recently his sculptures were selected for, and now feature in the film ‘Mao’s Last Dancer’

Michael produces all his own bronzes, overseeing each process from start to finish. His skill with the materials has led him to lend his expertise in bronze casting and patination to many of Sydney’s other well known sculptors.
