Aftermath will
feature a significant body of works by Ukrainian non-conformist artist Vasily
Sad (b.1948) shown in London for the first time. At the heart of the
exhibition stands Sad’s metalwork ‘Aftermath - dedication to
Chernobyl’ (1986), which sheds light on the artist’s profound
reflection of this historic event, destiny, the human condition and the dualism
of mankind’s
soul.
26 April 1986 - On that day the city of Chernobyl
went down into history as the reactor of the nuclear power station exploded and
released thirty to forty times the radioactivity of the atomic bombs dropped on
Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.
Being known as one of the greatest industrial accidents
of all time, the Chernobyl tragedy demonstrated the gaps in Soviet system and
also became a metaphor for the collapsing of the
USSR.
This exhibition
will be of great interest to contemporary art lovers and those craving for an
unusual art experience, raising the questions which are to be answered by each
of
us.
