Please join us September 22, 2024 at 2:00 pm at the Shevchenko Museum, 1604 Bloor St. West, Toronto, for the opening of THE OTHER VIEW: Searching for peace, an exhibition of photography by Paul Osadchuk. With this collection, the artist seeks to examine options for resolving conflict and for maintaining a peaceful world.
To quote the artist, “As we speak, somewhere on this planet there is unrest and the threat of war. Unfortunately, with unresolved conflict comes destruction and loss of life. The images I have chosen are mirror images reflecting the other side. They are only a small example of places around the world which have survived conflict. It also realizes that with sensible discussions the whole image stays complete but without it the completeness becomes nonexistent. The stability of everything is important to sustain a future for coming generations”.
Born in Brazil to Ukrainian parents, Paul Osadchuk, who makes his home in Toronto, Canada, studied photography at York University under Michael Semak and Shin Sugino. A freelance photographer since 1978 and recipient of four Ontario Art Council awards, he has exhibited in Australia, Malaysia, Mexico (where he spends his winters), Peru, Ukraine and Canada in Manitoba, New Brunswick, and extensively throughout Ontario. Paul’s photography has ranged from documentary to abstract with his current passion being on photographing world heritage sites.
With years of experience and boundless imagination, Paul Osadchuk has exhibited both on the domestic and international stage and he continues to find new and intriguing ways to create art that is both abstract and imaginative.
The proceeds from all the sales will be extended to the people of Ukraine in their effort to heal and overcome their aggressor.
