Exhibition catalog: Discourse of War
This exhibition is about the impact of the war on the lives and creative paths of artists in Ukraine and worldwide. We want to show how artists’ attitude to art has changed during this year. How changed the vector of their creativity and attitude to the language of art in connection with these events. War has no nationality or religion. War has an impact on everyone individually and on all of humanity in general. Our goal is to show how artists from different parts of the world perceive war. This is an art discourse between artists and viewers.

I, like most Ukrainians, met February 24 at 4 in the morning in bed. It was a shock to
me, because until the end I could not believe in the possibility of such a scenario. Being
able to evacuate, the only thing I could do to at least momentarily numb my pain was
art. Starting from February 24, it is very difficult to create works that are not related to
war. This is what confuses and hurts me, although I am not physically in Ukraine. Since
the beginning of the full-scale invasion, I have also changed the way I speak. I started
creating my works in the virtual space, using the gray color in the moron. Subsequently,
3D models are superimposed on photographs of war-damaged buildings. I wanted to
create something completely new. Highlight the horror of war in a different way, not
through an illustration or drawing, but rather by using the power of the latest technologies
and the virtual dimension, which allows you to model objects as realistically as
possible. Thanks to this way of creating work, I manage to convey as much as possible
the cold and ugly spirit that embodies the Russian measure and everything connected
with it.
