MEET OUR SCULPTORS
Domenico Belli
Domenico Belli’s Ribbon, on view at SculptHamptons, is a striking example of his mastery in transforming metal into motion. Crafted in polished stainless steel, Ribbon features a flowing, spiral form that twists upward in an elegant arc, catching and reflecting natural light throughout the day. Though solid and strong in material, the piece evokes lightness and grace, resembling a breezecaught strip of fabric frozen in time. Installed in the open-air sculpture garden, Ribbon interacts dynamically with its surroundings—mirroring the sky, trees, and visitors as they move around it. The sculpture expresses Belli’s signature themes of energy, movement, and transformation, inviting contemplation and sensory engagement. As one of the notable works in SculptHamptons 2025, it draws attention for its technical precision and poetic presence. Ribbon exemplifies Belli’s vision: to create harmony between industrial craftsmanship and organic rhythm, bridging the physical and the lyrical in sculptural form.
Micajah Bienvenu
Micajan Bienvenu is a sculptor celebrated for his flowing metal forms that mediate between gravity and uplift. His work is rooted in the fluid gestures of nature, translating movement into enduring structural poetry. Bienvenu’s sculptures often employ steel , shaped through processes of heat, tension, and gesture. In his recent work Aloft, he presents a wind-driven mobile composed of two interacting elements. “Aloft,” the artist explains, “signifies the support that caring individuals provide for each other.” The sculpture seem to float, anchored only by skillful folds and arcs that defy conventional balance. It interacts with wind and light, casting shifting shadows and reflections that animate the landscape throughout the day. The work conveys a sense of suspended animation — dynamic yet serene, physical yet symbolic. Bienvenu’s craftsmanship and lyrical material language make Aloft a standout in contemporary kinetic sculpture. His contribution brings a spirit of elegant movement, emotional resonance, and poetic uplift to the Sculpthamptons exhibition
Anna Chekh
Anna Chekh is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores identity, memory, and the invisible layers of human experience. Her signature sculpture, Shadow Man, depicts a minimalist figure embracing a sphere — a powerful metaphor for the inner life and core values of contemporary humanity. “In a world of constant exposure and social media,” Anna says, “we must protect the sacredness of our interior self.” This gesture of quiet resistance — holding one’s secrets close — gives Shadow Man a disarming stillness and dignity. The piece on view at Sculpthamptons, titled Shadow Man Standing, is placed gently in the natural contours of The Greens, where light and shadow animate its presence. Chekh’s use of silhouette and space invites viewers into a psychological and philosophical reflection. Balancing form and meaning, her work adds a contemplative voice to the exhibition’s broader material and sculptural dialogues. Anna Chekh lives and works between Europe and her studio in Thailand, drawing inspiration from diverse cultural contexts. Her participation in Sculpthamptons marks her Hamptons debut and underscores the show’s international reach. Through simplicity and symbolism, Shadow Man offers a powerful response to an overstimulated world.
Damon Hamm
Damon Hamm is a multidisciplinary sculptor known for his exploration of science, time, and transformation through physical materials. Working primarily with metal and wood, Hamm creates forms that appear engineered yet organic, often engaging themes of entropy and motion. His sculptures blend a raw, industrial aesthetic with conceptual rigor, frequently invoking the feel of machines paused mid-function. In Steam Pipe, on view at SculptHamptons, Hamm presents a towering, cylindrical steel structure that resembles exposed urban infrastructure. The piece invites viewers to reflect on the hidden systems that sustain modern life— heat, pressure, energy—rendered visible and monumental. Constructed from weathered and welded steel, Steam Pipe embraces material honesty and rugged surface textures. Its vertical thrust and pipe-like details evoke both functionality and symbolism: a channel of unseen forces. Installed in the open-air setting, it interacts starkly with the landscape, creating contrast between nature and utility. Steam Pipe is both sculptural object and conceptual provocation, grounded in Hamm’s fascination with transformation. It stands as a compelling example of Hamm’s work—bridging industrial form and philosophical inquiry.
Michael Levchenko
Michael Levchenko is a sculptor whose work traverses time, perception, and material transformation. His ongoing series, Memory of the Future, explores the fragile dialogue between what we remember and what we imagine ahead.

The piece captures the elusive nature of memory, morphing abstract fragments into a solid yet shifting form. Its printed surface echoes faded blueprints or ghostly scans, hinting at architecture, dreams, or digital erosion. Levchenko’s work invites viewers to question how memory takes shape — as static monument or evolving narrative. His precise use of industrial material paired with conceptual fluidity defines a unique sculptural language. Installed at The Greens in Water Mill, Morphyng of Memory resonates with the environment and viewer alike.
