‘Wastelands and Other Quiet Places’ — artist Tetyana Pukhnovtseva invites you on a tour of the exhibition ‘Ragged Edge’ and her artist talk

We invite you to a tour of the exhibition ‘Ragged Edge’ with the participation of the project’s author, Tanya Pukhnavtseva, which will take place on 18 May, starting at 6 p.m. Afterwards, the artist will hold a short artist talk entitled ‘Wastelands and Other Quiet Places’.

The artist invites us to discuss space and emptiness in her works, how empty, clean spaces can speak to the viewer no less effectively than concrete forms. In addition, Tetiana Pukhnautseva will explain why she loves the colour white and what else it can be, as well as how an image grows out of the air of a sheet of paper, its gradual manifestation, the counterform and the role of the background within her works — in short, everything that plays an important role in the artist's practice.

WHEN: May 18, at 6:00 PM
WHERE: Artsvit Gallery, Dnipro, Krutogornyy Uzviz 21a. Entrance from Uspenskaya Square through glass sliding doors
