A Retrospective Exhibition Of Ukrainian Artist Liubov Panchenko Opens In Kyiv

KYIV, UKRAINE - FEBRUARY 12: Guests wearing traditional Ukrainian clothing take photos during the opening of a retrospective exhibition of Ukrainian artist Liubov Panchenko at the Kyiv City History Museum on February 12, 2025 in Kyiv, Ukraine. The large-scale art project “Universe of Liubov (Love)” is a symbolic tribute to the life and work of the Ukrainian visual artist and fashion designer Liubov Panchenko, who belonged to the Sixtiers, a group of artists of the sixties who revived Ukrainian culture during the Khrushchev Thaw. This is the first retrospective exhibition of the Ukrainian artist, about whom the world, unfortunately, only began to speak loudly after her tragic death - Liubov Panchenko died because of the occupation of Bucha by Russian troops in 2022 during the full-scale Russia’s war against Ukraine.
