Ukraine

The curatorial and editorial project for systems, non-objective and reductive artists working in the UK

White Circle | Sunday Salon 19

Saturation Point Projects, May 2022

White Circle brings together a large group of outstanding international non- objective artists with a focus on the geometric, reductive core which underpins the genre.

The aim of the exhibition is to connect and unite all the artists in a show of solidarity and support for our friends in Ukraine, having to endure unbelievable hardships because of the illegal Russian invasion of their country.

The exhibition will highlight Kyiv’s amazing cultural contribution to the world and celebrate one of their most famous sons - Kazimir Malevich.

The White Circle artists have been asked to respond to the ideas and aesthetics of ‘White on White’ 1918. The painting is one of Malevich's most important works, and after completing the piece he said: "I have overcome the lining of the coloured sky. . . . Swim in the white free abyss, infinity is before you. "

Works will be presented as unique high quality A4 lustre professional DPII 230gsm prints and will be available for sale for £30 each from the not-for- profit organisation, Saturation Point Projects, on two of the viewing days (14th and 15th May) and also by emailing Patrick Morrissey at editor@saturationpoint.org.uk.

100% of the sale of each work will go directly to the Kyiv Non Objective (KNO) art organisation, which will distribute funds to artists in Kyiv and Ukrainian artists in need who have been evacuated.

Organised by Deb Covell and Saturation Point Projects, directed by London artists Patrick Morrissey and Hanz Hancock in close co-operation with our international partners:
