LOSS OF MASS OR SKETCHES FROM BOMB SHELTERS
Andrii Akhtyrskyi
Online presentation of the exhibition by Ukrainian artist Andrii Akhtyrskyi.
Unfortunately, due to the war, Andrii was unable to join us in person.
During this time, Andrey shared a series of drawings he’s been creating over the past three years — and throughout the residency — as well as a sculpture that we 3D printed here.
“Loss of Mass or Sketches from Bomb Shelters” is a series of graphic and 3D works created during air raids in a shelter. It’s my visual diary of war — a way to capture anxiety, adrenaline, helplessness, and the attempt to survive through art.
It began with drawings made underground during drone attacks — a way to stay sane and ease the tension. Over time, these sketches evolved into 3D sculptures — virtual, weightless, yet heavy with emotion.
This is a story about loss — of mass, stability, the body, and home. And about new forms of existence born in the dark.
Curated by Uladzimir Hramovich.
