Fighting on all fronts: 30 Ukrainian artists present works at Art On The Battlefront virtual exhibition

Ukraine's Ministry of Culture and Information Policy reported this. 

The large-scale virtual exhibition Art On The Battlefront is a poignant reflection by 30 contemporary Ukrainian artists. This is the second part of the art project. It combines media, digital and art, supports Ukrainians during the war, and informs the world about the Russian war in Ukraine.

“The emotional, subtle, poignant works of the artists remind us that the struggle of Ukrainians is now ongoing on all fronts – military, diplomatic, and cultural,” the press service writes.

The second part of the project will culminate in an exhibition in the historic center of Vienna, in the Künstlerhaus building, where the Albertina Modern museum is located.

From April 14 to 18, visitors will be able to see the works with their own eyes and buy them. Proceeds from the sale will go to the rehabilitation fund for women in the military.

Vogue invited 30 Ukrainian artists to create special works for the project: Volodymyr Manzhos, Oleksii Kondakov, Maria Kulikovska, Vasylyna Vrublevska, Vitalii Kravets, Yelena Yemchuk, Olesia Trofymenko, Vlada Ralko, Bohdan Burenko, Masha Dmitrova, Yelyzaveta Lytovka, Artem Prut, Petro Bevza, Victoria Podust, Denys Sarazhyn, Nikita Kravtsov, Ivan Hrabko, Anna Zaruma, Olga Stein, Stepan Ryabchenko, Volo Bevza, Yuriy Bolsa, Yuriy Syvyryn, Masha Reva, Daryna Mykytiuk, Dzvinya Podlyashetska, Denys Metelin, Nata Levitasova, and Olga Zerno.

In the first part of the art project, 12 artists from all over the world united to counter Russian aggression and refer to the traditional culture and distinctive voice of Ukrainians. In particular, Fred Tomaselli integrated the codes of Ukrainian embroidery into the image for the front page of The New York Times.
