Denis Yanashot is a sculptor whose practice centers on direct stone carving, mixed media assemblage, and relief works that incorporate found and natural materials. Working with techniques that span traditional marble hand-carving and polishing as well as the inventive use of scrap metal, bone, and river detritus, he moves between representational and abstract forms. Yanashot draws on nature and personal experience, creating works that evoke wonder and curiosity while prompting reflection on transformation and the intersection of absurdity, reality, and the spiritual. His approach is grounded in a strong art education.
