(UKRAINIAN NEW GEN
About Exhibition
Ukrainian art is like litmus paper. A canvas capable of reflecting the intensity of our thoughts within the realm of existence. The flow of time, the change of events and trends, objects of joy and concerns. Each generation had its own marker color, reflecting the era.
And youth has always been the most honest pH test of society.
Hearts that are ambitious and uncorrupted by the dogmas of the past are the most spectral in their essence. Ukraine’s new genome is freedom of thought. It is self-expression, the search for oneself, and an unwavering struggle for the right to live in a conscious, peaceful world.
The artists gathered in this exhibition are not united by style or subject. Each painting differs in size, medium, and the ideas embedded in its foundation. However, it is precisely this diversity and the freedom of its expression that constitute the main common thread of the presented works. The new gene conveys the spectrum of contemporary realities, encompassing a wide range of thoughts and experiences. Providing inspiration and faith that the future brings light.

Participants
Was born in 1993 in the village of Kariv near Lviv, Ukraine. Lives and works in Kyiv and Lviv. The central theme of Taras Haida’s art is immersion into his own subconscious. The artist depicts situations and ideas emerging from his inner world and, through intuitive thinking, transforms them into expressive artistic images. Taras’s artistic work primarily concerns how we perceive and comprehend the manifestations of our consciousness.
Eduard Rybalevskyi was born in 1991 in Zaporizhzhia. He currently lives and works in Kyiv. The main themes of his artistic practice are the relationship between humans and nature, the divine, and the otherworldly. “In my works, I combine visual memories, fantasies, and sensations, seeking to explore every corner of my own thoughts and experiences. Art for me is a powerful tool for self-discovery. Where the unconscious has equal rights with the conscious, and fantasy dominates over beauty, I feel honesty and confidence.”
Dania Shulipa is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, graphic art, sculpture, digital art, and design. At the center of his creative expression lies the exploration of life through personal reflections. The artist’s visual language combines elements of expressionism, symbolism, urban aesthetics, and motifs of mass culture, retro, and punk. Drawing on these codes, Shulipa constructs his own artistic context and visualizes an individual worldview. Was born in 1998 in Kostiantynivka, Ukraine. Lives and works in Kyiv.
