2002 – 2005 about me and cartoonists…


About me and cartoonists … about the 2000s… it was a stormy and fun time… if only because we were younger and the free world was becoming more and more around us… our world… in February 2002, Volodymyr Kazanevskyi founded the “Artist” NGO as a city non-government organization, that later joined the International Organization for the Protection of the Rights of Cartoonists of the Press (Cartoonists Right Network\International).   Cartooning did not remain in my work… and my works were never at the level of a professional… that is sharp… funny… purely political… maybe a little philosophical like Igor Lukyanchenko’s… that’s why I don’t remember that period of mine… I’m sad… but I have memories of joint exhibitions, seminars, press conferences… about my friends during that time… but I am grateful for the fate))

2021 – Logotherapy through art


Museum Art Therapy Male – Female: My Visual History   On February 27, the Cherkasy Regional Museum hosted an interactive meeting dedicated to the archetypes of the Male-Female and their figurative representations in artistic creation and in one’s own drawings. The Platonic myth of the Androgyne, Jungian theory of the Anima-Animus, and the latest concepts of gender became the theoretical basis for art practice, in which the creative potential of the “inner woman” and the “inner man” were revealed through graphic images.   They talked about gender roles in the history of culture, gender features of the expression of aggression, the balance of the masculine and feminine at three levels of self-consciousness.   The exhibition of graphic works by Yevgenia Vasylchenko “Splashes of Beads” encouraged the search for the symbolic language of one’s own unconscious, metaphors, and associations on a given topic.   Yevgenia’s graphic works are not about the earthly, they are beyond. The more you look at these images, the more logical their connection seems, but in some of them there is a feeling of loss of codes for revealing their content. Through associations and visual metaphors, the artist seems to want to teach us to “pick up the keys” to the transcendent, so that there is a gradual understanding of the secret logic of the images of planets, houses, trees in a space devoid of the laws of gravity. Evgenia boldly confronts the ugly and the beautiful, problematizes the body and corporeality.   It seems that the artist wants to throw off the shackles of limitations, all kinds of masks and find the truth behind them, to find out how life outside the body is possible and what this life is like? Then Evgenia sets off on a journey in search of a spiritualized body.   This body is presented in works where we see symbolic representations of images of the masculine and feminine. And it is this symbolic fusion that forms a harmonious space of the initial androgynous unity.   We invite you to reflect on this together…

Snow-white weightlessness, lightness, the mystery of the black-and-white world, sensual female images of graphics supplemented by the consonances of white poetry. The Lord blessed this evening with beautiful fresh snow, and as dusk began to fall on the ground, the small white hall of the museum where the exhibition was held was filled with a mysterious glow.

Thanks to this combination, the meaning of both facets of creativity reaches a new level of impressiveness.

Evgenia Vasilchenko's graphic works are in black and white, but in combination with poetry they convey the colorful world of the author's philosophical thoughts and feelings. Illustrations accompanied by white unrhymed poems open up the cosmos, which is not far away, but here, next to it, intertwined with everyday life in one whole…

The exhibition runs until March 6, 2021.
