Alchemicus Redolent 2016

"Alchemicus Redolent" (2016) by Stepan Ryabchenko is a vibrant and abstract glass sculpture that embodies a sense of alchemical transformation. The piece is a complex arrangement of swirling, interconnected forms, each with its own unique color and texture. The dominant elements are an array of organic-looking forms in shades of yellow and pink, culminating in a large, bulbous shape at the base. The sculpture's intricate details, reminiscent of a futuristic plant, suggest a process of growth and evolution, with the artist’s use of vibrant colors referencing a sense of alchemical transformation. Currently residing in the Odesa Museum of Fine Arts in Ukraine, the sculpture measures 290 x 150 cm.
