At the same time, the hairy and cuddly beings confront the viewers with all the unsavoury traits of human character and the dark side of the social psychology. The main theme of Pylypchuk\u0026rsquo;s works is not surprisingly the naked state of the human condition.

Tegelijkertijd confronteren de harige en knuffelachtige wezens de toeschouwer met alle onsmakelijke eigenschappen van het menselijke karakter \u0026eacute;n met de donkere kant van de sociale psychologie. De naakte toestand van de menselijke conditie vormt dan ook het hoofdthema in Pylypchuks oeuvre. Naast die somberheid straalt het werk ook steevast een niet te onderdrukken optimisme uit: de poppen, die veelal de rol van de underdog belichamen, zijn tegen alle verwachtingen in de belangrijkste aandrijving voor een zinvol bestaan in een barbaarse wereld. Met uiterst sober materiaal (hout, stofrestjes, vilt, lijm) ontstaan de meest po\u0026euml;tische installaties en sculpturen.
