Ahead of the Resilience: Voices of Ukraine exhibition at Double Q Gallery, two Ukrainian artists talk about seeing the world through the prism of art and asking painful questions.
The aftermath of World War I, as evidenced in the paintings of George Grosz, Otto Dix and Rudolf Schlichter, left many wondering if the violence and injustice could ever truly be understood. Even today, for better or for worse, provocative art remains a force to be reckoned with; the evocative nature of such pieces inspires a sense of introspection and contemplation, especially when it seems that reality is beginning to unravel – or come crashing before our very eyes.
The works of Ukrainian artists Maria Kulikovska and Artem Volokitin, set to debut in Hong Kong at the forthcoming Resilience: Voices of Ukraine exhibition at the Double Q Gallery, certainly inspire a voyage out of our comfort zone.
