Alex Lidagovsky is an acclaimed abstract and figurative sculptor whose innovative  public space works are well known in his native country Ukraine.

After  having had his studio in Kyiv destroyed in the early hours of the  Russian invasion, we are fortunate that Alex has chosen the UK to  continue his work.

His 'Iron Horse' piece evokes the freedom of  the Ukraine people, and also the burnt-out rusted vehicle carnage that  Alex witnessed on his journey out of Kyiv with his family.

Many  of Alex's works remain in Kyiv and Ukraine, but some of those that he  managed to bring out, along with recent works produced here, are on  display at The Beach. Including his life size 'Lady Godiva', which adornes the front of the building, and is becoming a much admired local landmark.
