Transcarpathian artists depicted the independence of Ukraine in their own manner (PHOTO)

The exhibition of works by Transcarpathian artists opened in the "Uzhgorod" gallery. The event is dedicated to the Independence Day of Ukraine. Some artists even made works specifically for the event. 

The grand opening was held with a small crowd. The "cultural" management did not come either because the event coincided with the festive concert to the Independence Day of Ukraine in the Regional Music and Drama Theater. Some artists, whose paintings were exhibited, also ignored the exhibition. Therefore, the head of the painting section of the Transcarpathian Organization of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine Vasyl Vovchok and the gallery director, artist Mykola Shete took this mission upon themselves. Vasyl Vovchok noted that although the exhibition was organized spontaneously, artists could not stay away from the big event. As a result, 34 authors presented 45 works. 

The exhibition is interesting because it is diverse and colorful like our Ukraine.     

Incidentally, the word "independence" in the title of the presented works was mentioned only once – in the painting "Crossroads of independence" by Mykola Shete.
