Artists creating and collecting art

On June 15, an interesting exhibition was opened in Kiev. Ukrainian artists decided to share with the public their treasures - the so-called "home" paintings, which were not created for public demonstrations.

The world of art has two sides, one of which is huge, and on the other, it is somewhat cramped. Therefore, it is not surprising that each artist has a huge number of friends who are also involved in painting. Those who have at least one friend, an artist, are well aware of their tendency to share their work with almost every holiday! And this is not to mention the endless sketches and equally endless sketches, which accumulate in such a couple of months that even cover the floors with them! So, what can we say about professionals who literally live in the world of art?! Therefore, each Ukrainian meter has its own, though not large, but very interesting collection of graphics, watercolors, paintings, sculptures and photographs.

Therefore, as part of the I Love Kiev festival in the Lavra Gallery, it was decided to open an exhibition of these, sometimes intimate (in the highest sense of the word) works. The exposition was composed of works kindly provided by the artists: Olga Balashova, Lisa German, Anatoly Belov, Ksenia Gnilitskaya, Zhanna Kadyrova, Viktor Kharkevich, Olesya Trofimenko and Alina Yakubenko.

Visitors to the exhibition will be able to find out how creative people live, what gifts they present to each other, and what kind of “trinkets” they buy from time to time through emotional inspiration and their inability to deny themselves the desire to buy another wonderful painting, vivid, albeit unknown, the author. Artists are also people who can only be understood by directly touching the objects that make up the familiar interior of their home.
