Exhibition of paintings in the synagogue of Münster

On 9 November 2022, a large gathering dedicated to the Holocaust, the genocide of the Jewish people during World War II, took place in the synagogue of the city of Munster (Germany). The Holocaust killed approximately 6 million Jews between 1933 and 1945. Other ethnic and social communities, who were persecuted and killed by the Nazis for belonging to these communities (Roma, homosexuals, Freemasons, the terminally ill, etc.), are also usually perceived as victims of the Holocaust.
The organisers of the meeting asked the Union of Ukrainian Language and Culture in Munster to organise an exhibition of Ukrainian artists’ works. Natalia Iordan from Kharkiv and Ihor Shurov from Kyiv submitted their works. The works of Ukrainian artists received favourable reviews from visitors to the exhibition.

Exhibition of paintings in the Stadtwerke gallery in Münster, Germany.

On 17 October 2022, a charity exhibition and sale of works by Ukrainian artists opened in Munster. The Stadtwerke Gallery presented the works of two artists who were forced to leave their native Ukraine at the outbreak of the terrible war and ended up in Munster – Natalia Jordan (Kharkiv) and Ihor Shurov (Kyiv). Natalia managed to rescue and take out a few more paintings by two other Kharkiv artists, Ihor Nekraha and Vasyl Yolokhov, which are also now on display in the gallery. A total of twenty paintings and twenty pastel works are on display.
The exhibition is entitled Das Meer der Ukraine (The Sea of Ukraine) and aims to support fellow artists who have remained in Ukraine.
The exhibition of Ukrainian artists’ works is an attempt to show the everyday, peaceful Ukraine that Ukrainians miss immensely and are desperately fighting for. Ironically, it was through the bloody and destructive war that the world began to discover the real Ukraine, which has a SEA of warmth, kindness and light.
The exhibition will run until 14 November 2022. Address: Hafenplatz 1.

Exhibition of paintings in the medical center “Am Spreeboden” (Berlin, 2021)

Lockdown with its own rules and restrictions has changed the life of each of us. It would seem like a retreat to all creative plans. But still, we managed to implement one long-standing creative idea. The management of the Berlin clinic “Am Spreeboden” wished to place the paintings of the artist Igor Shurov in this medical center for a certain period to delight the visitors of the center with creativity. At the moment, the exhibition is open, and Berliners have the opportunity to admire the bright work of the Ukrainian artist Igor Shurov.
Thanks to the organizer of the creative event Michael Saposchnikow.
