In the 80's, Tsykalov's first pieces with wood "drew the attention of a narrow circle of specialists in the Moscow underground. But even back then, a line seemed to be drawn between him and the capital's emerging art scene.

At a time when Moscow romantic conceptualism has begun its
triumphal march through exhibition halls of both the capital and Europe, ignoring traditional sculptural values, Tsykalov stubbornly labored over the quality and technical definition of his 'woodwork'.

A saw and a hammer are as natural as a brush to his hands, and he wields them with the mastery of a virtuoso." (Bogdan Mamonov).
