The exhibition "Tenderness" is about the early work of the tandem of Liudmyla and Volodymyr Loboda, who started his art directly, honestly, experimentally, in the spirit of the times, and at the same time contrary to established canons and habits of totalitarian Soviet art

Exhibition Lviv Ya Gallery

It is rare to get a full representation and impression of an artist's creative period even after 10-20 years have passed since the time of creation. Paintings live a life of their own – they fly away like gifts, they are sold or they are simply lost. Often, the artist lacks the desire, strength and time to deal with his archive, and even more so to keep a detailed catalog of software works, sketches or sketches. But in the case of our exhibition, even after half a century, we can hear a frank direct language, see a detailed selection of works and feel the spirit of the time and art of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

This artistic period of the authors did not have an exhibition history until today, and only individual works were presented to the public and are in some collections. There have been no attempts to analyze and investigate this aspect of time, which is presented in various techniques: temperas and tapestries, works in wood and metal, drawings and watercolors.
Although the exposition of the exhibition itself cannot contain all the finished work, we plan to show it in special events-viewings, which we will arrange as part of the parallel program of the exhibition.
