It got warm enough to go outside today for a quick sketch directly in oil. The result is pretty shaky (still just 4C above zero here). It’s my parents’ back yard - complete with nationalistically painted bee hives and the power plant at the back - yuck. It’s environmentally clean, and papa gets organically certified honey from these bees, if you can believe it.

Discovered a fantastic set of Soviet posters on women’s theme on artpages .

Center for Contemporary Art at NaUKMA currently holds a very interesting show by Ivan Bazak. The show comprises of pictures, several videos, painting and cardboard sculptures, all under the name of “Where is my home? Where are you at home?” and it’s about the Ukrainian community in Italy. Overall, the installation leaved us in a satisfied and contemplative mood. It’s European quality installation art, done by a Ukrainian, alas, living abroad.
