"The man without a rod" series:
The artist spent almost ten years of his life in the making of this nine-piece series. It is an introspective representation of what he calls absolute hopelessness. “It's about the emptiness of the soul, but it's also about starting anew; when you feel nothing but finding the power inside of you to stand up and move.”
The series represents 9 separate pieces that are connected by a common idea and artistic solution. An image of a man in a difficult life situation has been taken as the basis.
In our lifetime, every one of us faces situations that at first glance are impossible to get over. When we do not know how to move on, and whether it is possible in the first place. Such situations pull the rug out from under our feet. The character of the sculpture is depicted in this very moment, and is empty on the inside, cannot find the way to live and does not have any aims or plans.
However, the series not only reproduce a man’s hard period of life, but it is sort of a turning point. It is the moment of “a second breath”. It resembles an argument when it seems the strength is totally expired and he or she can move forward, neither physically nor mentally; but all of a sudden, out of nowhere, you get the energy that pushes you to the new accomplishments.
In this series, the Artist was eager to show this very moment, for what yesterday seemed to be a bottomless spiritual vacancy, today can be filled with new life goals. It is as if you start your life from scratch, you can change your life vector crucially and fill the vacancy with new achievements.

Sergii Shaulis
The stainless steel, aluminum and bronze sculptures made by Sergii Shaulis are thought-provoking and often melancholic. They ask the viewer to meditate on the self, dreams and the inner world of the mind. The modernist works — like those of Constantin Brancusi and Amedeo Modigliani — focus on the simplicity of shape and form. He frequently uses human forms with missing body parts, such as the head or the torso, to transform something visually macabre into a symbolic commentary.
Shaulis’s father, Olescandr — also a sculptor — dissuaded his son from taking up the family business, which provided political monuments and park sculptures for the Ukrainian government. Instead, Shaulis studied engineering physics for three years but left without completing his degree. He subsequently enrolled in the Fine Arts program at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts.
After graduating, Shaulis teamed up with fellow sculptor Vasyl Semenyuk and created collaborative works, culminating in the development of a new form of casting technology. After his father died in 2003, Shaulis took the helm of his government commission workshop while continuing to create personal works. In 2007, he launched his series The Man Without a Rod; it features figures of men in utter despair, with many holding their heads in their hands. The sculptures are bodiless, having only arms, legs and heads.
Shaulis went on to produce his Maps of Identity series, an homage to his beloved Ukraine. His The Known Unknown series examines the past and present atrocities committed in his country. Several other groups of work speak to the fragility of the human condition and the inner prison of the mind. His sculptures are in private collections in Ukraine, England, Germany, Finland, Holland, Israel, Belgium, Australia and the United States.
