The exhibition will consist of large-scale sculpture and painting.

Continuing to populate a sad sack universe of lovable losers, the artist has added feline characters to his menagerie. Composed in tableaus that deal with violence, illness and loss, his figures never descend into melancholia, but retain a wry humor that affirms life. In the past his anthropomorphized animals have suffered a multitude of mishaps- a litany of car crashes, manslaughter, falls from snowcapped mountains, war- but here they engage as pugilists. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a boxing ring, with both combatants wearing orange trunks. In Pylypchuk’s vision, the referee has been transformed into a gravedigger, preparing an eternal resting place for the chump.
