(“Fragments of Memories” at the Museum of Kyiv History
About Exhibition
“Fragments of Memories” is a space of fragmented memory, where the personal dissolves into the universal. Man and woman appear here not as specific characters, but as images of experience, carriers of bodily and emotional memory, freed from time and biography. Recurring symbols—airplane, house, apple, sword—function as signs devoid of fixed meaning. They are activated through interaction with the viewer, opening space for personal associations and memories. In this system, what matters is not explanation, but resonance. The combination of painting and sculpture forms a language without linear narrative, akin to the mechanisms of memory: fragments, pauses, repetitions. The exhibition functions as a wordless diary, open to reading and inscription by everyone who enters it.

Participants
Artur Soletskyi is a Ukrainian artist, was born in 1996 in Vinnytsia, currently lives and works in Lviv. In his practice, he combines installation, video art, sculpture, and painting, working primarily with canvas and acrylic. The main themes of his art are the interaction between humans and space, the influence of the artistic environment on the viewer, as well as the exploration of mass psychology. The artist’s style is distinguished by minimalism, active interaction with the surroundings, the symbolism of the human body, and its deformation as a means of conveying emotional states.
