Alexander Porfyrovych Archipenko (also referred to as Olexandr, Oleksandr, or Aleksandr) (Ukrainian: Олександр Порфирович Архипенко) (May 30, 1887 – February 25, 1964) was a Ukrainian avant-garde artist, sculptor, and graphic artist.
Associated with the cubist movement, Archipenko departed from the neo-classical sculpture of his time and used negative space to create a new way of looking at the human figure, showing a number of views of the subject simultaneously. He is known for introducing sculptural voids, and for his inventive mixing of genres throughout his career: devising 'sculpto-paintings', and later experimenting with materials such as clear acrylic and terra cotta.
All of our first-class sculptures and sculptural objects are hand made unique pieces. They were costly made from talented artisans in our own bronze foundry. Bronze has doubled in value over the last 12 months and is now considered a precious metal. Hence our sculptures are not only eye candy but also perfect investment pieces.
All of our sculptures are also suited for the laying-out of a garden area, where they after a while get a bronze typical patina by weather.
Alexander Archipenko was a well known artist and sculptor who were born in Kiev, Ukraine on May 30, 1887.

He also died in the USA on February 25, 1964 in New York. He was well known as one of the pioneers of the modern sculpture and modernism and founded two art schools during his lifetime. Archipenko was a very experimental sculptor who connected different materials and different forms. Alexander Archipenko was the first one who successfully tried to assign the cubism to the sculpture and he became famous for his different concepts of forms and colours.
