International exhibition ACEO - «SMALL PAINTINGS, BIG STORIES»

We are thrilled to extend an invitation to the extraordinary ACEO exhibition and sale, showcasing an array of miniature masterpieces. This event will grace the esteemed «Art gallery of madam Palmgren» in the historic city of Lviv. Here, you can enjoy artworks by artists from various countries.
The opening will be held on April 26, 2024, at 4:00 PM.

  ACEO stands for «Art Cards, Editions, and Originals» It is an international format for small paintings. These artworks have a standard size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches (64 x 89 mm) and are created using various techniques. Each ACEO is a unique piece of art, signed by the artist. They make wonderful gifts or collectible treasures that you can carry with you.

At the exhibition, you will see over 1500 original works by more than 160 artists from different corners of Ukraine — spanning 36 cities and villages, including Kyiv, Lviv, Bucha, Dnipro, Uzhhorod, Odessa, and Kharkiv. Additionally, artists from France, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, and the Czech Republic have also contributed their works.

The artists have depicted everything that inspires them: urban landscapes, our beloved Ukraine, nature, birds, cats, plants, abstract paintings, and much more. Each painting tells a unique story, revealing the beauty and harmony of our world.

These may be small paintings, but they carry significant stories. Among the authors are those who cope with war, volunteers, and individuals who long for their native places currently under occupation. The exhibition features works by renowned artists alongside tender and naive creations. Urban sketchers from Odesa, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Wroclaw have also participated, capturing their observational sketches of favorite cities.

Each series of works is accompanied by a text from the author, where they share their story and what inspired them. It is also a narrative about how the beauty of nature and observations of small, simple things help individuals cope with their emotional state during times of war.

During the exhibition, there will be creative meetings, master classes, sketching sessions, and other events. The event program will be published separately. 

This exhibition is a joint project of the collective «Art gallery of madam Palmgren» and a group of curator-artists: Iryna Gresyk, Svitlana Mikhalevich, Solomiia Dorosh, Olena Zherebetska.
