Leonora Janko, art critic and director of the Lera Litvinova Gallery claimed: “Art goes beyond galleries and museums, it is increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives.  Sculptures and installations on the streets, art zones and galleries in houses and neighborhoods, paintings on clothing and much more – this is a clear manifestation of human needs in deeper senses, spiritual food, the desire for a new level of social and cultural communication.”

The first project of the “Cultural Place” is an exhibition of works by Lubomyr Martyniuk “Flower Retreat”.  Large-scale floral still lifes and life-affirming landscapes in the modern space of the mall, reminiscent of the eternal aesthetics of nature.  At the exhibition you can see large-scale canvases, reaching 2 m and impressive expressive implementation.

Lubomyr Martyniuk is an artist with extensive experience and a creative resume that includes more than 10 museum exhibitions.  His works have been presented in many European countries, including: Great Britain, France, and Germany.  The artist’s paintings are in collections in many countries, including Britain, China, France, the United States, Canada and others.  The works are made in the technique of “impasto” – thick, sculptural strokes of oil paint on the canvas convey a living play of light and color.  This technique was used in his work by the Impressionists and also the famous Vincent Van Gogh, so the image in the paintings looks very expressive, conveying the feelings and emotions of the artist at the time of creation.

In addition to regular exhibitions in Ukraine, Lera Litvinova Gallery implements art projects abroad.  The art space includes numerous exhibitions in New York, Berlin, Brussels, Bruges, Luxembourg, cooperation with museums, embassies and cultural missions of different countries. The gallery actively implements the principle of cultural diplomacy to strengthen cultural ties at the international level.

The exposition covers 45,000 square meters.  The exhibition is open daily, including weekends. Entrance is FREE.
