‘I want peace’: Space of Ukrainian character through millennia at Art Ukraine Gallery

The Art Ukraine Gallery in Kyiv is presenting a unique project titled "I want peace" by the Lviv-based artist family of Oleh Denysenko and his son Oleksandr. This exhibition delves into the hierarchy of the development of the Ukrainian character throughout the ages, showcasing the evolution of national identity.

The exhibition is a vibrant clash of cultural eras, representing a unique intersection of civilizations, from ancient times to the modern era. The artists have incorporated numerous images familiar to us from legends, biblical stories, parables, and Ukrainian fairy tales.

According to Natalia Zabolotna, the founder of Art Ukraine Gallery, this project is essentially about the Ukrainian character. Among the various images on display, one can find a flying pilgrim, symbolizing the genius of inventiveness, and allegories of a creative leader, aspiration, and dexterity. These themes collectively convey the spirit of Ukraine and its people across the millennia.
