About the artwork
Upwind, Silver Wind stages a tension between opposing states: a steel flag appears to flutter, catching and reflecting light with a polished surface, while its counterpart, a black, damaged fabric flag, hangs heavily, depleted and inert. Movement here is both asserted and denied.
About the Artist
Kyryl Korin (b. 2005) is a visual artist born and raised in Khmelnytskyi, Western Ukraine. Currently he works in Basel, Switzerland. His practice is rooted in a solid academic foundation in painting and drawing, which over time has developed beyond the traditional two-dimensional media. Today Kyryl's work is a blend between plane and spatial. He engages with painting, drawing, sculpture and installation, incorporating a diverse range of materials such as metal, wood, ceramics, leather, fabric, and other. Each selected for its physical properties, symbolism, history and narrative potential. Kyryl's practice is focusing on contemporary culture and societal themes, such as: social hierarchies and dynamics, authenticity and performance, power structures and conditioned behavior etc. Through figuration and abstraction, symbolism and metaphor, he seeks to explore contemporary social realities and evoke dialogue.
Exhibitions
This artwork was part of Kyryl's solo exhibition in ELEVEN TEN STUDIO in May 2026.
