On September 4, on the eve of the beginning of Art Week in NYC, I went to a gallery in Chelsea for the Volta Art Fair. Dozens of galleries exhibiting and thousands of works of art on display. Seven of the galleries featured art by Ukrainians, both in Ukraine and from the Ukrainian diaspora.
On gallery featured several Orthodox icons painted on ammo crates. I saw the icons just passing and then looked closer at the one on the right in the photo above and noticed latches that are used on NATO machine gun ammo crates. Ukrainian soldiers create these icons. It was a lovely display of faith expressed in art in a country invaded by a tyrant.
Below are a sampling of what was on display by Ukrainian artists.
And one more icon
