Personal exhibition at Central House of Artists, Moscow, Russia
Six sculptures featuring the cyclus "Ancient Greece. On the Quest for the Truth" were exhibited on the International Art Salon 2010 that took place in Central House of Artists in Moscow, Russia. The sculptor along with his creatins were filmed by narional tv chanel "Culture". Below you will find the translated version:
"In the section "Personal art axhibitions" artworks of Sergey Khorikov attract attention. The author is interested in ancient civilizations, myths of peoples of the world, Hellas, the Greek gods. All this for the sculptor is a source of inspiration. He embodies his ideas in marble -the favorite material of the ancient masters."Marble responses to the structure
of ancient Greece, its philosophy. The synonym of stone is friendly, open ", - explains the sculptor.

Mythological heroes for Sergey Khorikov are not just images of the distant past. He tries to present them in our time, to understand how Nike and Aphrodite, Prometheus or Hercules with bow and arrows. would have behaved now."The distinctive feature of these arrows is that they do not miss the target. Besides, they brought death even for the Gods. The major goal of those arrows is to kill the chimerical monster that impeds the development of mankind.Therefore, all the deeds of Hercules are subject to the destruction of these chimeras "- adds the sculptor.

Sergey Khorikov strives to achieve movement in his creations, as according to the ancient philosophers, "everything flows and changes". Improvisation is the major aspect for Sergey. He takes a stone, tries to picture the image in it, identifies the points and chops off all unnecessary. Therefore the final result is always unpredictable."
