KIRILL PROTOPOPOV

Kirill was born in Moscow on October 27, 1959.

EDUCATION

1977-1977 Moscow Fine Art school named after Surikov

1977-1982 Moscow High Art Industrial Academy (former Academy named after Duke Serge Stroganoff), faculty of Design.

MEMBERSHIP OF PROFESSIONAL ORGANISATION

A member of the Union of Artists of the USSR since 1984.

A member of the Union of Artists of Russia since 1992.

For many years Kirill has been a member of Moscow Medal Making Club. Design, he says, helped him to advance from working on surface to space sculpture. Since 1988, using mixed techniques and various materials: ceramics, wood, metal and acrylic, Kirill has worked on the theme of Old and New Testament sculpture, which was first exhibited in 1993 in the MARS Gallery, then in XAC Multicult Gallery (Frankfurt on Main) and Badisches Landes Museum (Karlsrue). In 1991 Kirill created a two-side medal depicting the Peace flag for the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York.

In the following years several collections were created: People and Lions (1993–1995), Paradise Birds (1996), Objects from the sky (1997–1998), Going within Time (1999–2000), Rhein Angels (2001–2002). These are sculptures made of bronze decorated with half-precious stones. In his collections Guardians of  the City, Holy Animals, Going Figures, where Kirill uses kinetic elements, multi-tonal shades of bronze and stone, which are a symbolic representation of the circle of life and guardians of spiritual values.

Since 2003 he partakes in charity auctions of Operation Smile and Diema’s Dream supported by Christie’s to help children with facial deformities.

In 2005 he took part in a charity exhibition in Tsar's Village and donated his sculpture Family (2000) to the Alexander Palace Museum.

As part of the Modern sculpture in the estate on Volkhonka project, in 2012 Kirill participated in the exhibition devoted to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Art.

In 2014 he had his sole exhibition at the Nicholas Roerich Museum in Moscow.

In 2015 Kirill participated in the International Academy Project Between the Volga and the Danube. The project was an attempt to restore the holistic, stereoscopic perception of the surrounding world.

Since 2004 Kirill Protopopov has continued his collection People of the World seeking to bring together the heritage of ancient cultures and the modern world. He uses pieces coloured smalt, gold tint and silver in a combination of traditional and modern technics, and graphic design.
