Rhythms of Presence
Veronika Cherednichenko and Petro Gronsky
In what moments do we feel most alive?
Perhaps when we are overwhelmed by an incredible sense of joy. Or when we experience deep sadness, love, passion, or even despair. It is precisely at these extremes, across the entire spectrum of our emotions, that we feel our own presence in life most intensely.
The exhibition “Rhythms of Presence” brings together the work of two artists — Veronika Cherednichenko, who works with colored pencils, and sculptor Petro Gronsky, who creates his forms in concrete and metal.
Their artistic languages are very different. Veronika’s works are filled with an explosion of color, fantasies, dreams, and images that emerge somewhere on the boundary between the real and the imagined. Petro’s sculptures speak through the weight of the material, its texture, its solidity, and at the same time its ability to transform in unexpected ways. Yet these different practices meet within a shared space — the space of human experience.
There is no single story here, nor one correct way of reading these works. They may speak of love and passion, loneliness and anxiety, joy, dreams, loss, and inner states that are sometimes difficult to put into words.
We invite the viewer not to search for the right answers, but simply to allow themselves to feel. To discover something personal in these forms and colors, something familiar, perhaps even something unexpected. Because each of us has our own rhythm of presence — our own way of being in this world, of experiencing it, and of experiencing ourselves.
“Rhythms of Presence” is an exhibition about life in all its fullness. About the moments when we rejoice, love, grieve, dream, lose our footing — and precisely because of this, feel that we are alive.
Come. Look. Feel.
Perhaps, among these forms and colors, you will recognize something of your own.
