The Naked Room gallery presents its final project in 2023 — Cheer Up!, a solo exhibition by Yehor Antsyhin. «Yehor's artistic practice is built around the theme of personal and collective memory. He is interested in the interpretations familiar images take on when they enter the space of the visual unconscious,» say the curators. With extensive experience working with various art mediums, in this project, Yehor returns to painting. His canvases from 2022 depict individual episodes of Ukrainian history and the artist's personal life.
The title of the exhibition comes from the name of the theater that performed for the 175th anniversary of Taras Shevchenko in Lviv in 1989. «The combination of a stern portrait of Shevchenko, the name of the collective, and the time when the concert took place intrigued me. It's a time of reconstruction, gaining independence, and identity,» explains the artist.

The Nightmares exhibition is dedicated to the whimsical creatures from the imagination of the artistic duo of Oleksandr Liapin and Oleksandra Luniova. Depicting non-existent strange beings is their way of exploring societal conventions, their own fears, and openness to diversity. It also raises questions about the ethics of genetic engineering and manipulation with nature and consciousness. «Even in the darkness of nightmares, there is some light — our instincts, the desire to survive and to overcome fear. We can use these frightening feelings to strengthen our spirit, understand our weaknesses, and overcome them, even when it seems that we are on the verge of reality and dream,» explains White World in the exhibition text.
