The last exhibition of artist Vasyl Krychevskiy took place in 1940 and had some 1,050 of his works on display. Today, only 300 pieces are left and are available to the public. Krychevskiy, also known as the designer of the Ukrainian coat of arms, was born in the village of Vorozhba in 1873.
An architect, a painter, designer and teacher, Krychevskiy’s reflection of the Ukrainian impressionism is well-recognized and praised in the art community. The display of the works that had been done over the span of 50 years show the changes that Ukrainian community faced and conquered.

The family duo Volodymyr Veshtak and Iryna Veshtak-Ostromenskaya are introducing their collaborative work on the project called “Duet.” Through the works displayed the artistic tandem sends a message: There are always solo moments present as well as harmonies in a duet. Paintings and sculptures are representations of the art-deco and post-vanguard style. The exhibition is displayed in the Kyiv gallery Tryptykh.
Until Nov. 13, Tryptykh (34 Andriivskiy Uzviz Street), 279-0759, Mon 11 a.m. – 6 p.m., Tue – Sun 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Free admission
Art Games is an exhibition of the art pieces that sell. The idea is that since art had become a hobby of the well-living people, it was turned into a game rather than a stream of artistic satisfaction. The world tends to value the art with the highest bit rather than the one that is artistically charged. The installation of the Ukrainian artists is going to raise a question – can their works be the ones argued for on the world’s auctions? Pieces by Anatoliy Kryvolapa, Elena and Vitaliy Vasilev, Arsen Savadov, Pavel Makov and Ihor Husev are represented.
Until Nov. 17, Art Zbirka (13 Tereshchinkivska St.), 234-1427, Wed – Sun 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Free admission
