Personal exhibition of works of a member of National Union of Artists of Ukraine – Oleksandr Demydenko “In the sunshine”

“An artist Demydenko wants to tell with the language of colour about the beauty he saw. The cosy nooks of Kirovohrad’s steppe nature and architectural motives of historical reservers of Ukraine, depicted with Oleksandr’s brush, saturated with  bright shine of tint of his pallete will bring you back to the fairy world of your childhood’s expirience full of sun-giving marvels...”
