Artworks rigidly bound to dates.
The dates are rigidly bound to death.
Death — to powerlessness.
Powerlessness — to faith.
Faith — to prayer.
Prayer — to life.
"RAW WOUND" is a modern testimony to the importance of remembering, learning, and acting to ensure that the darkest pages of history never repeat themselves.
On November 16th, at the White Space of the Stedley Art Foundation, the exhibition of Alexander Sukholit dedicated to the presentation of Natalia Sukholit's poetry collection "When the Wind Returns" took place.
For Kostiantyn Zorkin, art is the tangible evidence of the existence of the soul. After all, it is through the language of art that one can communicate directly with the soul, bypassing the barriers of rational intellect.
Serhiy Zhyvotkov (1961-2000), a Ukrainian artist of the 1980s-1990s, remained true to painterly asceticism and biblical themes in his unmatched works. His art captivates with mystery and contemplation, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
The exhibition “Standoff…” includes works created during different periods but mostly during the past several decades. It culminates with the Phantoms series (2022-2023). This signature series is especially dear to the artist – it has started during the first months of the war which at the time seemed to go on forever.
The Albertinum is dedicating a comprehensive survey exhibition to modern Ukrainian art. It is the first of its kind in Germany and Europe. Paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations, video works, graphic art and archives represent Ukrainian art from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. In the process, some of the exhibited works travel outside the country for the first time and provide insights into Ukraine's eventful history as well as its constant struggle for its own self-image.
The Altar Exhibition project features artwork which was created by the artist at the moment of greatest emotional tension.
Zhyvotkov’s multifaceted and deeply philosophical works focus on the transcendental and completely remove the line between the sacred and profane. His artwork could be compared to an ancient altar which marks a symbolic entrance into the other world, and a portal into the history of humankind.
