The “Intellectual Capital” Charitable Foundation supported the work of the creative workshop “BAGRIYstudio”, providing artists with the opportunity to purchase materials for their work — canvases, paints, brushes — to implement future art projects and create new works.
The studio was founded in Odesa by artist Leonid Bagriy. It unites a number of renowned and respected masters whose art is widely recognized in contemporary Ukraine.
Among them are Serhii Burda, Kateryna Biletina, Vasyl Yolokhov (Erm Wohol), Hlib Marderosyants, Artem Osypov, Svitlana Vol, Serhii Luchyshyn, Svitlana Hryhorieva, Mykyta Bagriy, and many others.
The artists create collective projects as well as work individually, regularly organizing exhibitions in Odesa, Lviv, Kyiv, Kaunas, Berlin, Rome, Palma de Mallorca, and other cities across Ukraine and abroad.
Mastery, an interest in contemporary trends in art, a spirit of experimentation, and high-level command of academic skills are the hallmarks of the artists who form the “BAGRIYstudio” collective.
Numerous landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and abstract compositions executed in various techniques continually emerge from their studios.
What makes the studio unique is that it brings together not only Odesa natives but also artists who once came to Odesa from other cities — Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv, Kherson, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi — enriching the studio with a diversity of painting schools and creative visions. This has shaped it into a vibrant and modern platform for exchanging experience and further developing Ukrainian art.
Today the collective is working on a large project titled “Pixel. Life in the Gap”, which has brought together, in addition to Ukrainian masters, artists from Spain, Armenia, and Lithuania — and soon the authors will present the results of their artistic practice.
