The famous patron Oleksandr Feldman took part in the charitable auction \u201cArt for Life,\u201d which was held in the end of March in the Mystetskyi Arsenal Complex in Kyiv.<\/p>\n
Within the framework of the project implemented by the Borys Lozhkin Foundation, the auction presented the works of the famous Ukrainian artists. The received means will be spent on the purchase of up-to-date resuscitation system allowing to make anaesthesia to dysmature infants in the Children\u2019s Cardiac Center of Illya Yemets.<\/p>\n
\u201cHelping children by means of art is a close topic for us. Our foundation became the initiator of the series of charitable auctions \u201cThe Art of Mercy\u201d. Their purpose is to draw attention of the public to the problem of children\u2019s health in Ukraine, to initiate and promote the activity of patrons for its solution,\u201d Mr. Feldman told.<\/p>\n
It should be reminded that the \u201cThe Art of Mercy\u201d project was launched in 2011. During the series of auctions, the works from the personal collection of Oleksandr Feldman were proposed, including the works by Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Joan Mir\u00f3, and Henri Matisse. The received means were transferred to the purchase of medical equipment for the Kharkiv Municipal Centre of Children\u2019s Neurosurgery, and to the establishment and the work of the Centre of Rehabilitation of Children and Teenagers of the Feldman Ecopark.<\/p>\n
During the \u201cArt for Life\u201d auction, Oleksandr Feldman purchased the \u201cSky\u201d series\u2019 sculpture by Nikita Zigura. It should be noted that he was a participant of the festival of modern art titled \u201cFeldman Art Park,\u201d which was held on the territory of the Feldman Ecopark in autumn 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very important that the modern Ukrainian authors devote their talent to charity and take part in similar events knowing that their art saves someone\u2019s live. Our task is to support their active attitude to life and to promote the popularization of their works,\u201d the patron emphasized.<\/p>\n
It should be reminded that within the framework of the cultural and educative festival \u201cFeldman Art Park,\u201d which took place on October 2-30, 2015, the competition of young Ukrainian artists and sculptors was held. Over 1,000 authors from across Ukraine at the age under 35 took part in the art competition in three fields: painting, graphics and sculpture. According to the results of selection, 200 works by 105 artists and sculptors were exhibited at Feldman Art Park. The best participants got grants established by the International Charitable Foundation \u201cOleksandr Feldman Foundation,\u201d to train in prestigious European art residences. It is planned to continue this project this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
