Vasily Fedorouk’s works have been exhibited internationally and are in private collections in the USA, Ukraine, Russia, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Brazil, Norway, Korea
and Israel. Several of his Sculptures are in the permanent collections of the museums in Ukraine and Russia. In addition he has many public pieces on display in these countries. As an invited guest to the Seattle 1990 Goodwill Games, Vasily Created and donated to the city of Seattle a sculpture which is on permanent exhibit at the Westlake Mall.
Born I 1950 in the province of Kobaky of Ivno-Frankivsk, he spent his childhood surrounded by the beauty of the Carpathian Mountains. He entered Kosiv Art College in 1966 at the prestigious Lviv Academy of art from 1972 through 1977. Since then he has worked as a sculptor. He is a member of the Union of Artist of the Ukraine since 1982.
Vasily feels that the basic creativity and performance of the artist depends on the shape and components of the materials suitable for sculpture: bronze, wood, clay and his greatest love – stone.
He is especially recognized for his granite carving skills. Granite is one of the hardest stones to sculpt and Vasily’s ability to reveal the work’s detail from this material is astounding. The composition pieces usually require detailed hand work and the carving is very difficult and time consuming. Vasily’s great skill is shown in his exquisite compositions. He confidently transforms his materials connecting realistic and abstract forms, showing off the natural beauty and detail of stone itself.
Although his work can be found throughout the world and his spiritual and artistic roots are Ukrainian, he is now finding new energy and inspiration for art in the United States.
