On January 21 at 17:00, the Museum of Kyiv History opens the solo exhibition project by Ukrainian artist Artur Soletskyi, “FRAGMENTS OF MEMORY.” The project combines painting and sculpture in a unified space dedicated to themes of memory and the inner incompleteness of human existence.
“Fragments of Memory” is a space of fragmented recollection, where the personal gradually shifts into the universal. Man and woman appear not as specific characters, but as generalized images of human experience — beyond time and without biographies. Repeated symbols — airplane, house, apple, sword — do not have fixed meanings. They come to life in interaction with the visitor and allow for personal associations. The exhibition functions as a wordless diary — open to reading and rewriting by everyone who enters it.
Artur Soletskyi is a Ukrainian artist with a distinctive authorial visual style formed at the intersection of monumental painting, installation, and video art. In his practice, he proceeds from the belief that form is not only an image but also an active element of space capable of influencing the viewer. In his art projects, Soletskyi creates environments that alter perception, evoking sensations of tension, pressure, or immersion in a shared experience.
The organizers note that Artur Soletskyi’s “FRAGMENTS OF MEMORY” is an invitation to pause and take a closer look at oneself, at the feelings we do not manage to articulate. Here, art functions as a metaphorical map — the visitor perceives the works through their own experience and finds within them the meaning they need at that very moment.
