On the occasion of the closing of the “Woven Spirit of Ukraine” exhibition at Ukraine House, a special evening was held with the artist, Marina Lukach. Lukach traveled from Ukraine to the United States to present the project in person and offer the Ukrainian diaspora a valuable artistic gift.
This was reported by Ukraine House.
The event provided visitors with a unique opportunity to meet the artist, whose work combines photography, embroidery, and textiles into intricate compositions reflecting the cycles of Ukrainian history.
"Marina's extraordinary talent, combined with photography, embroidery, and textiles, has captivated visitors since the exhibition opened. Her work reflects the cycles of Ukrainian history and reminds us of the values for which Ukraine continues to fight,” said the organizers.
Oksana Markarova, Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, gave a welcoming speech. David Stewart, a Las Vegas surgeon who helped bring the exhibition to the United States with the support of the Ukrainian Center Las Vegas, also gave a presentation. Thanks to this collaboration, the exhibition, consisting of 26 works, has been open to the public since its opening in June at Ukraine House.
Marina Lukach, the author of the art project, personally arrived in the US from Ukraine for the exhibition's closing. A highlight of the evening was the artist's presentation of an original piece from her collection to Ukraine House, where it will be kept as a testament to Ukrainian culture's richness.
Notably, the U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine, General Keith Kellogg, visited the exhibition and expressed his admiration for Lukach's work.
For reference: Marina Lukach is a Ukrainian artist, theater director, and photographer. Her works have been exhibited in the US, the UK, Italy, Germany, the UAE, the Netherlands, Austria, Cyprus, and Ukraine. Over the past ten years, she has created more than 200 pieces using twelve different techniques, and her work is now part of private collections.
Her exhibition, "Woven Spirit of Ukraine," consisting of 26 textile works, opened in the United States in June. It highlights the beauty and spirit of Ukrainian cities through intricate fabric compositions. The exhibition features mixed textile techniques, including hand and machine embroidery, photo printing, batik, acrylics, and beads.
