"Beyond Time", the Exhibition Inspired by Trypillia, celebrates
Ukrainian Heritage and Jewellery this Spring
NEW
YORK, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
As GemGenève gears up for its 8th edition, the Strong and
Precious Art Foundation is thrilled to announce that it will be
participating in the prestigious show for the fifth time,
showcasing the rich heritage of Trypillian culture. Spanning a
period from c.5,500 BC – 2750 BC in what is now Ukraine, Trypillia represents an important
chapter in European history.
With Strong and Precious, our mission is to
nurture Ukrainian talent and support the development of the
country's jewellery industry. Within two years, the art foundation
has achieved fantastic results, with global exposure for our
talented artists, extending beyond Ukraine.
Trypillian culture flourished across south-east Europe from modern-day Ukraine to Romania and Moldova. Characterised by distinctive red and
orange pottery adorned with curvilinear designs, the Trypillian
people practiced shifting agriculture and engaged in intricate
rituals. "Our exhibition aims to celebrate the cultural legacy of
the Trypillian people and showcase the talent of Ukrainian
jewellers," says Olga Oleksenko, Founder of the Strong and Precious
Art Foundation. "Through our collaboration with GemGenève, we
strive to highlight Ukraine's rich
jewellery heritage to an international audience."
The upcoming exhibition will feature designs from emerging
Ukrainian designers and established Ukrainian brands, unified by
strong symbolism and meaning, designed exclusively for the 8th
edition of GemGenève. Komendat, Aga.te, Anton Boyko, and GeO x Iryna Vasylenko will be participating in the art
foundation's collective for the first time, joining previously
represented designers Drutis, Inesa
Kovalova, Iryna Karpova,
Nomis, and Oberig.
To enhance the presentation at GemGenève, the Strong and
Precious Art Foundation is collaborating with ceramic artist
Victoria Yakusha, the visionary behind FAINA. By incorporating
ceramics crafted by FAINA alongside the exquisite jewels on
display, the exhibition promises to deliver a captivating fusion of
heritage, culture, and contemporary artistry. FAINA's dedication to
preserving and promoting Ukrainian cultural heritage echoes the
mission of the Strong and Precious Art Foundation, making this
collaboration a testament to an enduring spirit of creativity and
craftsmanship.
"With Strong and Precious, our mission is to nurture Ukrainian
talent and support the development of the country's jewellery
industry. Within two years, the art foundation has achieved
fantastic results, with global exposure for our talented artists,
extending beyond Ukraine. Keeping
Ukraine in the spotlight is
crucial, especially as its citizens persist, needing hope, aid, and
international support during the war. We are delighted to see our
designers growing their brands, many as a direct result of the
exposure gained through the Strong & Precious collaboration,"
says Olga Oleksenko.
