Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
All profits from the exhibition will be donated to UKRAINE CHARITY (reg:1163036) for the supply of medical aid & ambulances to Ukraine, via Wimbledon based not-for-profit MEDICAL LIFELINES UKRAINE LTD (reg:14658637)

This special free entry exhibition showcases original paintings created by a vibrant group of talented young Ukrainian artists during a rural retreat near Prague in 2011–2012.

Set in the scenic Czech countryside, the gathering freed these emerging painters from the studio, immersing them in natural light, real-time observation, and camaraderie.

Staying in a traditional farmhouse, this group of gifted young Ukrainian artists made original works of art in an intensive plein air collaboration.

The resulting collection captures a rare period of creative freedom—blending traditional Ukrainian sensibilities with bold, modern takes on colour, form, and texture.

In the peaceful summer of 2012, journalist Philip Wright discovered the collection through its gallery and stepped in as their English agent.

As war unfolded, these paintings have transformed into something deeper—shifting from a vibrant snapshot of youth to a lasting symbol of Ukrainian cultural resilience.
ALL DONATIONS WILL BE USED BY MEDICAL LIFELINES UKRAINE FOR THE SUPPLY OF MEDICAL AID & AMBULANCES TO UKRAINE.
