On May 22, at 6 p.m., the Lavra Gallery will host the opening of the art project “Tribute to Fashion.” The author of the project is a young Kyiv artist, Dana Ozova, a fashion artist who subtly and exquisitely combines fashion and personal emotions in her paintings.
The exhibition “Tribute to Fashion” is a visual monologue about the presence of feelings in space.
It is an exquisite performance about states and moods in colors and silhouettes. Architecture, chandelier light, fashion, and images are immersed in an atmosphere where the line between memory and reality is blurred. Interiors, the glare of spotlights, bodies, and light and shadow are scenes not of events, but of states.
At the intersection of fashion, painting, and theater, the artist’s paintings give birth to special stories — intimate, dramatic, seductive, in which each image is a moment between words and silence. Everything here is a gesture, a pause, a touch.
The combination of large-scale paintings and sophisticated fashion sketches in the exhibition creates a certain rhythm, a silent music of the soul that stays with us as a memory, an impression, an emotion. Emotion is the main artistic image of the project. It is the basis of inspiration and beauty, fashion, painting, music, and architecture.
Each canvas is a frame frozen in time.
Painting in which sensations emerge through texture, semi-gestures, and the silence after movement.
This scene is not for the viewer, but for those who know how to see.
Dana Ozo’s works exist on the border between fashion, theater, and painting — in those areas of perception where sophistication becomes emotion and the image becomes meditation.
