I couldn't find a wiki, but from this site I did find for an exhibition the artist had:

Museum of the History of Kiev presents an exhibition of Vasily Korchovoy "Other beauty". The creativity of the Kiev sculptor is the embodiment of what is still called “atypical” beauty in society. These are magnificent bacchanals and madonnas, with love recreated by the master in marble or limestone plastic forms. In the exposition, the author, combining the already known creative works and the novelties specially prepared for this exhibition, reveals the eternal life essence of what he professes and calls “Other Beauty”.

Vasily Korchevoy was born in 1962 in the Khmelnitsky region. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture, sculpture faculty. Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. Honored Artist of Ukraine.

Another one of his sculptures I really like:

On a personal note, I think the exhibition should have just been called "Beauty" rather than "Other Beauty", but "Free" fits the statue perfectly.
