Vladimir Kush is a Russian-born painter and sculptor whose body of work is often called “metaphorical realism.” Across canvases, prints, and bronze sculptures, he builds worlds where ordinary subjects dissolve into poetic hybrids.
The themes that recur in Kush’s work are rooted in metamorphosis, balance, and interconnectedness. Nature and culture are never fixed opposites but extensions of one another. His metaphors are visual riddles that reveal how one form can conceal another, how perception itself is provisional.
