On August 22, 2022,
the presentation of the art exhibition "THE INVINCIBLE" to the
Independence Day of Ukraine took place in the O.O.Osmerkin Art Memorial
Museum as part of the art project "Art Studios - 2022" on the theme: "Portraits
of contemporaries against the background of war".
The exposition consists of more than 250 portraits made by
artists in various graphic techniques, which are the result of the
creative work of artists during February - August 2022. For the image,
the artists each time chose a new nature - their fellow artists,
journalists, local historians, employees of museums and other cultural
institutions, young people, who are our contemporaries. In June-August,
artists with the assistance of the head of the Kirovohrad regional
council, Serhiy Shulga, created many portraits of volunteers,
psychologists, doctors, and also held field trips to the Kirovohrad
regional clinical hospital for war veterans, where they painted
portraits of combatants. Memorable are the studies with the
participation of representatives of the Main Department of the State
Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Kirovohrad Region - a firefighter, a
pyrotechnician and a psychologist, as well as teachers and cadets of the
Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs, which moved from Mariupol
to Kropyvnytskyi.
You can read about how art studios were held on the museum
website.
The curators of the project are Andriy Nadezhdin, a leading
researcher of the museum, Honored Artist of Ukraine, and Olga
Krasnopolska, the head of the fine arts department of the Kropyvnytskyi
Children's School of Arts. Studio participants: members of the National
Union of Artists of Ukraine Lyudmila and Oleksandr Demydenko, Iryna
Kukharenko, Olga Kolomiets and Yuriy Vintenko, Oleksandr Kiryanov, the
teacher of the Art School named after Oleksandr Osmerkin, artists from
Kropivnytskyi Natalia Kornilova and Yulia Tarasova, artists from Dnipro
Maria Grim (Rakhmanova) and Oleksandr Vasylenko, Kyiv artist Oksana
Samiylenko and Kropyvnytskyi photographer Oleksandr Shuleshko.
Portrait heroes and numerous fine art fans came to the
opening. Everyone looked with interest at the portraits of our
contemporaries, which make up the general image of invincible Ukrainians.
A special highlight of the event was the showing of a video presentation
about the art project - a photochronicle of the studios and video
stories that were broadcast on the all-Ukrainian informational telethon
"One News (Yedyni Novyny)" https://youtu.be/knJQsOnMirI. The
author of the video presentation is the artist and musician Oleksandr
Kiryanov, a participant in the project.
The head of the Kirovohrad Regional Council, Serhiy Shulga,
made a welcome speech: "Three months ago, the idea was born to expand
the already existing museum art project by adding to it those who work
for victory every day - military, volunteers, rescuers, doctors. Our
artists worked in the hospital, communicated with the military and at
the same time became therapy for them. Each portrait is a story, it is
the life of our heroes. I thank the artists for their powerful and
important work."
The director of the museum, Vita Chernova, introduced the
artists who participated in the art project and presented them with
thanks, and also presented the young volunteer Matvii Rozinka, whose
portraits are exhibited at the exhibition, with a souvenir from the
museum - a symbolic ceramic heart painted in the blue and yellow colors
of the Ukrainian flag. And all those present received an informational
flyer about the exhibition as a reminder.
The vernissage ended with photo sessions near the portraits
in the exposition and numerous interviews of the curators and
participants of the art project with representatives of the local mass
media.
