On November 24, 2024, at 2:00 PM, the final tour of the exhibition «Revival» will take place at the Odessa Municipal Museum of Personal Collections named after O.V. Bleschunov. 

This memorial exhibition «Revival» is dedicated to the memory of the prominent Odessa painter and graphic artist Oleksandr Yosypovych Shkuropat (1964—2008). 

The tour will be conducted by Eduard Ratushnyak, a well-known Odessa journalist and admirer of Shkuropat's artistic work.

At the «Revival» exhibition in the Bleschunov House, exquisite paintings from the series: «Odessa and Its Surroundings», «City of Fish», «My Ukraine», «The Abduction of Europe» will be showcased. Additionally, «home» works left by the master for himself and his family as reminders of the beginning of his creative journey will also be displayed. These rarities will be seen by the audience for the first time.

«Shkuropat was among those who decisively rejected socialist realism in painting, adding a fresh breath to decorative folklore. He anticipated in Odessa (long before the current awakening) an informal interest in Ukrainian culture and history, outlining a certain direction in national art for generations of artists to come», — shares Eduard Ratushnyak.
