Igor Shurov

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.

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.
