Relief

Kliun shared the Tatlinian veneration for 'materials' by which found objects are considered to have an intrinsic meaning due to their unique form and texture. Following this line of reasoning, their creative assemblage emphasises each object's pure and raw strength, independently and as a whole. The refined simplicity of this assemblage pays homage to Kliun's explorations into the rendition of space through the weaving of abstract planar surfaces. The academically-established genre of sculptural relief is revived with a radical Cubo-Futurist twist. The result is a monumental structure, solidly rooted in tradition yet fundamentally modern in its three-dimensional transposition of linear design.
