The exhibition of the young Ukrainian artist consists of works from the years 2021-2024 – four series created in anticipation of and during the full-scale war in Ukraine. “Tectumque” (from Latin: shelter) is the name of the virtual reality scene that the artist worked on during a six-month Gaude Polonia scholarship. The main idea of the work was to stimulate consciousness and imagination, creating a magical dreamlike atmosphere. A new version of shelter. TECTUMQUE 2.0 reflects contemporary threats. Now these fears are completely real, and the amorphous black figures transform into tanks, drones, and other weapons.
Veronika Cherednychenko was born in 1994 in Kherson, Ukraine and attended Warsaw Academy of Arts and Lviv National Academy of Arts, receiving a B.A. in art in 2018 and an M.F.A. in 2020.
Since 2022 works as a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lviv.
Her artistic practice appeals to the unconscious, provoking the imagination in an attempt to look into the future or into oneself: nature, organic forms, growth dynamics, transformation, but also decay and death, fundamental and mundane processes for all living beings.
In her projects Veronika combines different materials and techniques to fully immerse the viewer in the project. Her body of work ranges from large-scale public art to VR projects.
