Ukrainian family-collection around a piano, with art on the wall and a sculpture on the lid: Roman Koukahar, Oksana Veber and Elena Koukahar.
ESPERGÆRDE:
First time in West Europe at Espergade Library, might well be the first step on the way to a West European break through for the ukrainian couple Oksana Veber and Roman Koukhar.
The pieces of art which can be seen at their exhibition until the 7th of January are at least very beautiful.
It has nothing to do with provocations. The experiences are in own poetic balance for quiet considerations.
The works of Oksana are beautiful pictures, and Romans sculptures are very harmonic. For both of them, each piece of art, seems to tell its own wonderful story. They are like visual fairytales.
The sister-connection
So why did Espergade become the first place for the couple to exhibit in Western Europe?
Well, Roman has a sister. An extraordinary pianist Elena Koukhar.
Together with he husband Mehdi Azadfar, who has lived for five years in Kokkedal, and they have their connections to artists in Helsingør and Espergærde
Roman and Oksanas art exhibition and now lead to an exchange, where some of the local artists might make exhibitions in Kiev next time.
Hanging in well recognized museums.
Both of them come from the Ukrainian capital. There they grew up and got their education, and
Roman and Oksana are members of the Art Society in Kiev.
Both are represented in several well recongniced art museums in their home country and in Russia, and they also both have artworks in galleries in Czech Republic and in Germany.
But now is the first time they are taking part personally at an exhibition in the Western part of the world.
They have been represented at an art exhibition in Canada, but they could simply not afford to travel there. But in Espergarde they are here.
On Saturday the opening of the exhibition took place and it was carried through in a wonderful atmosphere with a small concert by Elena Koykhar.
