Premonition
“At the beginning of 2022, Matvii Vaisberg was painting a winter Kyiv—covered in snow and mist: Yakiv’s stairs in Tatarka, Shevchenko Boulevard in the snow, a fountain, a night-time square, and the courtyard near the familiar Rolit building,” writes art historian and journalist Olena Balaba. “It was a premonition of the great tragedy that would […]
Dia Kinets
“Dia”—from the Greek meaning “through,” “across.” The End—the final word that concludes every filmstrip. Bringing these two together, we arrive at “through the end”—an exploration of a phenomenon that has already come to an end. A filmstrip is a sequence of slides united by a common theme into a single film, typically consisting of 20–50 […]

“– How did Fripulya come into being?– I had a dream: some kind of crystals emitting a фантастичне radiation. And this crystal seemed to emerge from my soul, and in this way I saw that planet Earth—its explosion—is a fertilization of everything on the level of light. Then, reflecting on this, I came to the […]
Olena Kurzel. Metamorphoses
Metamorphoses is a series about a threshold state—the subtle moment when reality begins to fragment, losing its clear contours. In the artist’s works, we encounter inner landscapes and architectures that seem to merge with human bodies or, conversely, absorb them. These are not literal narratives, but rather fragments of sensations that together form a unified […]
Kostiantyn-Vadym Ihnatov. Transformations
An exhibition of one of the most prominent illustrators of the renowned Kyiv publishing house “Veselka,” and at the same time a distinctive representative of Ukraine’s unofficial artistic culture of the 1970s–1980s. The visual world of Kostiantyn-Vadym Ihnatov is instantly recognizable—a realm of grotesque transformation in which the artist masterfully balances humor and emotional tension, […]
