Kolomyckis Denisas

Denisas Kolomyckis’ signature style – an exceptional plasticity – means that his work is indiscriminately linked to dance. However, Denis is a creative vagabond, wandering through different media, with theatre rather than dance as his main creative outlet. The intensity and positive inconsistency of Denisas’ work might lead one to suspect dilettantism, however this is only possible when the activity is accompanied by pretension. In Denisas’ case, no matter how ephemeral the works or the use of a single creative expression, everything remains a playful interpretation of the world, without any pretension to conform to a conceptual or formal canon. And the love of humanity, however banal – almost like an electoral promise – such a word structure may sound, makes Denisas a highly political artist. He speaks directly about one of the greatest problems of society – the lack of social justice.
