The monumental sculpture of the British author from Uzbekistan Yunus Safardiar is first exhibited in Russia on the open ground in front of the Vostok Tower of the Federation-Moscow-City complex. It was moved from London to the Business Center of the Russian capital and installed at the foot of the highest skyscraper in Europe.


The shape of the sculpture resembles a cloud that has descended to the earth, it is composed of separate spheres, forming a single whole. This bronze mirror "cloud" takes on the surrounding space thanks to the reflections and gleams of the forms. The impressive size of the art object "Gate of versatility" (3x3x3 m) corresponds to the futuristic scope of Moscow-City architecture.


The installation of the sculpture was timed to coincide with the World Cup, according to the author, "this cultural project is designed to show the common cultural codes of the world, the unity of universal values, the importance of harmony in the living space."


Born in Samarkand, a graduate of the St. Petersburg Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Repin (workshop of academicians OKKomov and MK Anikushin), Yunus Safardiar lives and works in London. His works are in the Russian Academy of Arts (St. Petersburg), Boca-Raton Sculpture Park (USA), ABN AMRO Collection (Great Britain), in the collections of many famous people in the world community, such as musician Paul McCartney. The appearance of his works in Moscow City is natural: 20 years ago, the sculptor made his own first-made polymer from high-tech polymer for the solemn ceremony of laying the foundation at the beginning of the construction of "Moscow City" commissioned by the deserved architect of Russia, the author of the Moscow-City MIBC "Borisov" project Thor. And now his monumental work will be the first sculpture installed in the space of the Tower "Federation" of Moscow City.
