21 июля 2016

By Alexei Nemov: Gomel sculptor Sergei Portenkov has won the prestigious Taylor Award for creating a fairy tale serpent from used parts.

The artist makes his masterpieces from motorcycle and computer components, glass bottles, old tools, spare parts of watches and musical instruments.

Most of Portenkov’s works have been exhibited in Moscow and Minsk.

According to the sculptor, the only thing that prevents him from creating new works is the lack of necessary parts, each of which can become the basis for his sculptures.
