"One Day in a City" by Dmitrii Volkov was featured in the Art in Roanoke 2017 to 2018 temporary exhibition. This piece marks the first time the AIR Exhibition includes the work of an international artist. Mr. Volkov states “In my work I focus on combinations of volumes, patterns, colors or all together. They should interact, agree or disagree with each other. Listening to this conversation and forming this relationship are the most exciting things in art.” Made of steel and wood and weighing in at 1,500 lbs., One Day in the City according to the artist “illustrates one day movement of a man in a city. It shows his ups and downs in different scenes and ways.”
