The social space of the Lviv Municipal Art Center will host an exhibition on the activities of Nilo Khasevich, an artist of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (1902-1952). Here you will see reproductions and originals of works, as well as artifacts that accompanied his work.
“I have already lost everything in my life, but as long as one drop of my blood remains, I will fight with the enemies of my people. I can’t fight with weapons, but I fight with a cutter and a chisel. I, a cripple, fight at a time when many strong and healthy people in the world do not even believe that such a fight is even possible. I want the world to know that the liberation struggle continues, that Ukrainians are fighting… Glory to Ukraine!”, said Neil Khasevych (1952)
Artist-designer Boguslav Lyubiv is a researcher of Nilo Khasevich’s biography and work. Together with his wife Oleksandra Lyubiv, on October 14, 2002, they founded the Gallery of Ukrainian Military Uniforms in Lviv at Rynok Square, 40. In fact, all uniforms in the museum are reconstructed and sewn by Boguslav. He also created a uniform for the newest army of Ukraine: in particular, a parade uniform for the Heroes of Krut Lyceum and the Sahaydachny Institute of Ground Forces. Bohuslav Lyubiv has the title of Honored Worker of Culture of Ukraine and is a laureate of the Hilarion and Vira Sventsytsky Prize.
