Odesa's Art Photography Salon 2025 Opens with 90 Works by 30 Artists

The exhibition "Art Photography Salon 2025" has opened in Odesa at the All-Ukrainian Center of Bulgarian Culture and will run until March 31.

According to an intent correspondent, the works are presented by the Odesa branch of the National Union of Photographers of Ukraine.

This year's exposition features 90 photographs in various genres by 30 authors, including masters known in Ukraine and abroad - Olena Martyniuk, Yevhen Kom, Oleh Kutskyi, Oleksandr Synelnykov, Anna Shats.

"Salon of Art Photography" is an annual photo exhibition organized by the Odesa regional organization of the National Union of Photographers of Ukraine. Last year, it brought together works by 38 authors.

It should be noted that the opening of exhibitions and various spaces for artists of different genres and directions should make Odesa more attractive to young cultural figures, because according to Anna Morokhovska, curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art, after the Russian Federation's invasion of Odesa, the difficulties of cultural life that were observed before the war have worsened. And this happened precisely because of the closure of exhibitions and art galleries in the city.

Earlier, the first exhibition of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Odesa at the new address, 31/33 Evropeiska Street, was the project "Calypso Mirages: Captured by the Depths by Dmytro Dulphan". The exhibition of works by Odesa artist Dmytro Dulfan (1971-2024) opened on March 1 at 17:00.

The city also hosted a new exhibition by sculptor and artist Mykhailo Reva titled "Diaries of Time".

The exhibition features the use of real fragments of rockets, mines and shells, which the artist transforms into symbolic images. In his paintings, one can see not only darkness and destruction, but also hope, light and indomitable spirit.

The exhibition is already open to the public and will run until March 24 at the UNION International Cultural Center.
