His family's household was equally distressed as the situation in the country at the time and at the age of 14 he was adopted by a family from the United States. Now Konstantin lives and works between the two cities of Philadelphia and New York.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith background in fashion and industrial design as a footwear designer, Konstantin Maloy explores various industrial fabrication techniques to structure his mixed media works - found and upcycled leathers, fabrics, and synthetics are stitched together into visual compositions which experiment with tactile and visual temperature\r\u003cbr\u003equalities. The creation process itself challenges the notion of creativity and authenticity in the current state of the “automated reasoning” prevailing around us. The subjects of Konstantin's works are primarily hand studies - being the most sensory and communicative part of the body. The moments get frozen in time - in the middle of a gesture or an athletic movement - to connect with the viewer and the surrounding environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"anastasiya","title":"Anastasiya","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeather, nylon thread on leather.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20x20x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first work which shaped my technique - portrait of my best friend and my life partner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Konstantin Maloy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43869238689895,"sku":null,"price":20530.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1781083390_26860.jpg?v=1781185408"},{"product_id":"follow-through","title":"Follow Through","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFabric, leather, nylon thread on linen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24x36x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the basketball is released from the shooter's finger-tips, the time slows down as the ball arches towards the basket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Konstantin Maloy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43869238853735,"sku":null,"price":8290.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1781083679_25663.jpg?v=1781185421"},{"product_id":"finger-roll","title":"Finger Roll","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFabric, leather, nylon thread on linen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24x36x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a moment in time during a layup, right after the basketball leaves the hand of the player, when the time stops.
