Worlds of Oleksandr Aksinin

White Space Bohdana Khmelnytskogo 62B, Kyiv, Ukraine

Oleksandr Aksinin (1949–1985) was a Ukrainian graphic artist and intellectual whose complex works interweave art, philosophy, and literature. His intricate symbols and bookplates transcend traditional definitions, inviting viewers into intellectual puzzles filled with references to global literature, mythology, and sacred texts. Aksinin deeply explored the themes of life and death, viewing existence as an ongoing, unknowable journey. His annual etchings for his birthday reflect this contemplation, marking each step as a countdown to "rebirth." Aksinin’s art remains a legacy of unanswered questions and a pursuit of elusive truths for future generations to explore.

KRAING. VITALII KRAVETS

White Space Bohdana Khmelnytskogo 62B, Kyiv, Ukraine

In the project "Kraing," Vitalii Kravets focuses on the emotional relationship of Ukrainians to the land as a kind of constant, one that is now facing destruction. The sight of land plowed by machinery and scorched by artillery horrifies us almost as much as the sight of a body ravaged by war. In this project, Kravets captures both the physical death of the land and its spiritual rebirth in the eyes of those who care for it.
