ABOUT US
Since 2016 our gallery has been and remains a community of people who care about the development of Ukrainian art both in Ukraine and abroad.
We mainly specialise in the popularisation of art with a sociopolitical concept. This gives us a wide range of freedom of action and sometimes adds "spice" to each exposition that is placed in the walls of our locations.
We also advise on investments in Eastern and Western European art.
It is important to emphasise that the commercial component of our gallery is not the main one. We believe that the gallery is a neutral location that brings together unique people to consolidate cultural efforts. For this reason, we are happy to organise chamber concerts, poetry evenings, book presentations, meetings with artists, scientists and politicians, etc…
Based on what we have written above, we would welcome any suggestions from outside. And, if our views coincide, we will be happy to realise them together!
One of the key directions of our institution is cultural diplomacy.
It should be emphasized that we do not organize solo exhibitions, as one of he most important conditions for the existence of our gallery is EQUAL dialogue.

CUSTOMS AND LAWS
The title of the exhibition, 'Customs and Laws,' is a direct reference to the poem of the same name by Hryhorii Skovoroda, which emphasises the importance of customs and traditions, as well as a just order in public life. In his work, Skovoroda developed the idea of harmony between natural law and human rights, which is organically linked to the historical role of Magdeburg law as the basis of self-government, civic responsibility and freedom of cities in Ukraine.
The combination of the presentation of the publication 'The Magdeburg Law in Ukraine - Building Block of a Better Future ' with an exhibition of paintings by Oleg Tistol creates a space for reflection on the European values that are historically inherent in Ukraine. The choice of the title 'Customs and Laws' symbolically emphasises the continuity of the Ukrainian legal tradition, which is an integral part of European heritage, and reflects the desire of modern Ukraine to integrate into the common European space.
Thus, Skovoroda's poem serves as an ideological bridge between the past and the future, between the legal traditions of old Europe and the contemporary aspirations of the Ukrainian people. The title 'Custom and Laws' combines the historical content of Magdeburg law, the artistic interpretation of European identity in Tistol's works, and the contemporary context of Ukraine's European choice.
Venue: Tryptykh-Art Callery
13 Desiatynna Street, Kyiv
Date: Thursday, 9 May 2025
Time: 17:00
The exhibition will run until 21 May 2025.

Exhibition Project "Technology"
The exhibition project 'Technology' is a deep introspection of society through the artistic comprehension of the experience, implemented and borrowed socio-political models, cultural codes, and their interaction with Ukrainian reality.
The artists presented in the project analyze successful and unsuccessful attempts to adapt these patterns in their works, which sometimes contributed to progress and sometimes led to outright absurdity and grotesque.
This exhibition project is a kind of research into the influence of external and informational environments on art. The works presented will not so much characterize the modern performative manner and coded language of already well-known artists as they will reveal the wonders and poetry of metamorphosis on the path to visual precision and depth of meaning.
Among the invited artists:
Vera Blansh
Anatolii Varvarov
Oleksandra Makarska
Eduard Potapenkov
Anastasiia Podervianska
Vinnie Reunov
Oleksandr Smyrnov
Oleh Tistol
Oleh Kharchenko
Kostyantyn Sinitskiy
Venue: Imagine Point Gallery
Golosiivsky prospect 86/1, Kyiv
Date: Friday, 16 May 2025
Time: 18:00
The exhibition will run until 14 June 2025.
