Tectonika and Linear Expressionism - "The distribution of mass in space and the flow of forms and rhythmic lines to express emotion. The relationship between the visible and the invisible is equally important." - Rudolf Sokolovski

    Rudolf Sokolovski is a Canadian artist and designer. Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Rudolf apprenticed under his father, internationally acclaimed artist Valeri Sokolovski, from whom he received a classical art education and training. The combination of his exposure to European classical art and Soviet realism at an early age, and the many years of traveling the world, studying art and cultures and different styles, has led him on a path of developing his own expression that has been described as powerful, sensual and modern. His works have been featured in film, magazines, press, solo exhibitions, group exhibitions as well as international art expos. His pieces and commissioned artwork can be found in art galleries and private collections in Canada, USA, Britain, France, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, South Africa, Israel, and Hong Kong. 

“Rudolf’s artwork explores themes of power, sensuality, and the human form. His sculptures, deceptively classic in a more traditional Fine Arts aesthetic, have become at once more meditative and experimental, in a new search for artistic identity. Unmistakably sensual and elegant, these are studied works of texture and erotic shapes that emotionally engage the viewer in subtle yet memorable ways.” - exhibition curator E.S.J.

“The artwork is outstanding. I’ve been in the business for forty one years and represented many artists and Rudolf’s quality, compositions, themes, ideas, and executions are second to none. It is the finest art there is in this category. - Gallery owner, D.D.

“Without a doubt this is art of the highest caliber. It is beautiful and inspiring, something that contemporary art these days seems to be missing.”

- art critic, G. W.

“Being an art lover and collector for decades I can confidently say that your art is simply class. Thank you again for the beautiful sculpture.” - art collector, H.L.

“After a disappointing visit to the Vancouver Art Gallery I attended Rudolf’s show at the University of British Columbia, filled with beautiful art and beautiful models. The sculpture heels were unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything like it.” - C.Z.

“I just want to say thank you for having us at your exhibition and we love having your sculptures in our home!” - art collectors, A.J. & M.J.

“On my recent visit back to Vancouver I had the opportunity to meet Rudy and to see his incredible sculptures and paintings. I came to his studio opening in Yaletown and as soon as I walked through the door I felt like I stumbled upon a hidden gem. Hands down better than any commercial art gallery that I’ve been to in the city. ” art collector, K.B.

“We met in Brooklyn last year and I’m so glad I stopped by your studio on my trip. I love your art!” - art collector, F.D.

“I commissioned Rudy to create a custom sculpture. I’ve seen his art before and I wanted something that would go well in my home and add some warm energy. The finished artwork exceeded my expectations.” commissioned work, S.Y.
