About event
From June 15 to July 6, the First Ukrainian Art Agency "Art Fine Nation" invites Kyiv residents and guests of the capital to a cultural event—a synergy of two generations and two unique perspectives on the essence of the Ukrainian spirit.
Within a single conceptual space, two solo exhibitions will unfold, narrating the indomitability of Ukrainians throughout the ages: from the origins of our strength to the present day.
Exhibition I: Valerii Franchuk — "Genetic Code of Will"
FOR SALE DIRECTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME! Presentation and artist meet-and-greet — stay tuned for further announcements.
Valerii Franchuk is a living legend of contemporary Ukrainian painting, a world-renowned People's Artist of Ukraine, a laureate of the Taras Shevchenko National Prize, and a monumentalist who has spent his life shaping the monumental image of Ukraine in his painting cycles. His name is synonymous with deep patriotic art, characterized by a unique color language and a highly recognizable textural technique. His canvases bring millennia to life: from mythical Scythians and the legendary Prince Sviatoslav the Brave to modern volunteers. They are all Warriors of Light who, throughout different eras, have defended not only Ukrainian lands but the very light of humanity, which hostile darkness constantly seeks to consume.
Exhibition II: Nataliia Duka — "Portrait of Strength"
FOR SALE DIRECTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME! Presentation and artist meet-and-greet — stay tuned for further announcements.
Nataliia Duka is a talented Kyiv-based artist dedicated to oil painting in a realist style. She is an affiliated resident of "Art Fine Nation" and has already made a name for herself through a series of solo and group exhibitions. "Portrait of Strength" captures the vivid, incredibly profound emotions of people passing through the crucible of modern war. The artist masterfully plays with light and shadow, paying meticulous attention to detail. Through portraits of children, women, and our courageous defenders, Nataliia transfers pure human emotions onto canvas, evoking a powerful response in the heart of every viewer.
Project Concept: This project serves as an artistic bridge between eras. While Valerii Franchuk's canvases show the global, historical continuity of our "Genetic Code of Will," Nataliia Duka's works capture the present day—the specific faces in whose eyes this code burns right now.
Format: An exhibition-sale, offering a unique opportunity to acquire works by the distinguished Master Valerii Franchuk and the promising artist Nataliia Duka for your private collections.
