Sevan garo - Garogosi

Sevan Garo produces sculptures which embody the contrast within nature. His works capture the monumental strength of the glacier’s form, while at the same time signifying its fragility.

Sevan trained and studied as a sculptor, and is the Founder and creative force behind Garogosi Glacier Wears, a bespoke jewellery brand that produces ‘wearable sculptures’, first inspired by one of his own sculptures shattering to the floor on the day of his first solo exhibition opening at The Hague in The Netherlands.

The sculptures are, in their essence, geological artefacts; individual and unique fingerprints taken and preserved from the surface of the glacier itself, which Sevan scales in pursuit of both adventure and art. Using a precise moulding method developed and refined over many years, no harm from heat emission or chemical residue is impacted on the glacier – no trace is left, while the beginnings of a unique sculpture are born.

These works physically encapsulate and immortalise the part of a glacier which has since melted away. This ephemeral aspect is what the artist hopes will ignite awareness, conversation and appreciation of the ever-increasing unnatural forces of change occurring in our world.

Sevan is based in Wales, and works from his self-designed and built workshop when sketching, devising new ways of celebrating Nature’s monuments in artistic forms, and planning his next expedition to the mountains
