About

Lysenko Gallery was founded by Nathalie Lysenko in 2007. The gallery started as a holographic art studio and first opened in Dubai. After a few years of running the gallery in rapidly growing Dubai, Lysenko wanted to explore her roots and delve into Ukrainian art. In December 2012, she opened a gallery in the historical Vozdvyzhenka district in Kyiv and has been working closely with Ukrainian contemporary artists ever since.

In 2019, Lysenko Gallery became primarily based in London. Since then, we have exhibited internationally, including in London, Paris, New York, Miami and Stockholm. We have conducted Art Auctions, curated exhibitions and participated in Art Fairs internationally. Lysenko Gallery specialises in contemporary European art that is thought-provoking and for home decor. Our collection includes a wide range of art mediums, including paintings, ceramics, tapestries and sculptures.

To work closely with collectors and clients, hear out their needs and find what will best fit their home is what we specialise in. Most of us feel a strong attraction to art yet it is difficult to decide how to incorporate it within your home. It is such a specific and individualised process that having a consultant can be invaluable. It’s about building the atmosphere that will define your home. We would be glad to share our knowledge of art with you.

Maria Kulikovska Figure 1/5 from the series Carpe Diem

Artem Volokitin Chandeliers

About the Artist

«Carpe Diem» is a series of five life-sized figures of Kulikovska's body cast from epoxy resin. All sculptures from the series are independent artworks. They were created with the addition of various symbolic materials: flowers, chains, feathers, seashells, keys and bones. The expression Carpe Diem is interpreted as a call to live with pleasure every day, without delaying the possibility of a full life to an uncertain future. Carpe diem should not be interpreted as being close to another common expression - memento mori (remember about death). These two terms represent opposing world views: at the core of Carpe Diem lies the idea of a carefree attitude to life, but at the core of memento mori - the idea of the humility of existence.
Volokitin uses hyper-realism to depict this dark and curious scene. Bright Chandeliers swing from above like large pendulums. In contrast, a black and grey scene engulfs this light. In the dark night, the leaves of the hedges faintly shine. These hedges frame the piece, creating walls around the swinging chandeliers. Above, darkened clouds are collecting, adding to this eerie and chilling scene.
