Russian Icon Collection shows support to Ukraine and Ukrainian artists who have suffered from the full-scale war in Ukraine. Being part of the international art community, the online gallery doesn’t stop advocating for peace on Ukrainian lands.

The online gallery made it possible for more people to find out about the anti-war exhibition at the Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Titled “Say No to War: Political Cartoons by Ukrainian and Russian Artists,” the show features artworks created after the outbreak of the war crisis by some of the best Ukrainian and Russian masters of the genre. Among them are Oleg Goutsol (Ukraine), Valery Momot (Ukraine), Sergey Sychenko (Ukraine/Israel), Andrey Feldshteyn (USA), and others. One of the missions of the exhibition is to show consolidation among artists and criticize war and the people responsible for its beginning. The exhibit, which opened on April 20, will be available to the public as long as the war continues.

Russian Icon Collection also pledges support for the Ukrainian refugee artist Michael Levchenko. The famous award-winning sculptor, whose works are exhibited worldwide, ran from a bomb shelter in Kyiv and arrived in Colpach, Luxembourg, with just one backpack. Unfortunately, he seriously injured his foot and now needs financial support for medical expenses, as well as to make a living in a new country, rent an art studio, and buy supplies to be able to practice sculpture. He launched a GoFundMe campaign that is supported by Russian Icon Collection to grab the attention of as many people as possible.

As the war continues, the online gallery Russian Icon Collection keeps supporting Michael Levchenko and other Ukrainian artists who are now in different parts of the world. In the times of trial, the gallery doesn’t turn away from the global art community and sets an example of companies that speak up and tell more people about the bloodshed in the middle of Europe. Russian Icon Collection specializes in exhibiting, collecting, and restoring Russian Orthodox icons of the 16th-19th centuries. It has been providing comprehensive services for over 25 years, making it a leading choice for many icon collectors and institutions. In 2020, the company presented the Russian Icon Book, a collaborative project with the famous Museum of the Russian Icon in Moscow. Nowadays, Russian Icon Collection proves that wars have nothing to do with culture and art, two fundamental beacons of light and development in the modern world.
