Follow on Google News | CATM New York and Michael Murphenko Declare War on the Heir of ApathyWith the current climate of apathy towards the ongoing war in Ukraine, artist Michael Murphenko lashes out.
By: Shriftman Media The heart of the Ukraine people journey in sadness and celebration in Murphenko's latest installation of new works titled “What’s Next?”. From nuanced reference to their plight ,as war rages on, Murphenko lines the streets with hope. While all that glitters is not gold the glistening streets that run with bloodstained memories are paved with optimistic fortune. Murphenko's story is not just of suffocating closeness and fearful neglect, but a story of rallying faith and self preservation. A singular people's survival is married to their storied cultural heritage by fine threads of carefully woven sinew. These binding forces hold true as Murphenko's tale unfolds. Reminiscent of the Stations of the Cross, Murphenko's visual dictation attempts to simplify the extremely complex issues of a people under siege . At no point do we surrender to circumstance as sorrowful memories cling and only strengthen resilience's foundation. We, as well as Ukrainians, are commanded to pursue lofty spiritual ascension in the darkest of hours and Murphenko provides the torch by which we are led. It is said in times of war that it is a true testament of leadership that spawns great acts of humanity. Murphenko does not fall short as ordained soothsayer. Murphenko's continuous call to arms, weep not of past transgressions, but unite as one angelical force, acts as beacon to huddled masses in search of their own destiny. It is only with great fortitude and national fervor that such strife is brought to public attention. It is only with such vigor that Murphenko insists on international recognition. While the powers that be keep atrocities silent and hidden , it is Murphenko, with his deafening brightness, that bears truth, absolute in nature. 09 09 15 - 09 29 15 Kyiv History Museum 7 Bohdana Khmelnitskoho Street Kiev,Ukraine “Today is a special day. That day when everything around you: the sun, water, earth, air, all fills you up with strength, which will last a whole year. You only have to accept it, to breath it in, take in with your eyes all of that life and become strong. For it to last a year, a decade, a life. Be strong. “- Michael Murphenko End
