“Perhaps it’s only art that can still disturb and make us see, think, feel – and hurt.” Harrowing artwork from Krystyna Melnyk - In Front Of The Pain (2022). Works currently hang in The Naked Room. “Sophisticated and frightful, these small objects and bigger canvases do a trick with human optics. Sooner than later one’s eyes get tired of digitised images of violence and deformed bodies that leak through various media channels on a daily basis. Once we get used to it we stop seeing and trusting the veracity of graphic imagery – there’s no way for it to get under our skin.” There are terrifying images, videos, and of course real life accounts of the crisis happening in Ukraine. We must not get used to them. — #ukraine #artist #ukrainewar #ukrainianart #war
