City sketches with bright accents: 13 artists paint in Prospekt shopping mall
18-10-2018

Is it possible to draw a city and its inhabitants in a few minutes, do subway passengers and sellers on the market like being painted, how is Kyiv’s mood reflected in laconic sketches, and when a picture can reconcile friends?

Prospekt shopping mall invited 13 sketchers on the eve of the Artist's Day to find out how they highlight the key points, and remain free being alone with the city and with themselves. Urban sketching is a world movement of artists who make quick city sketches from nature. This is not an outdated cartoon genre and not a carefully traced portrait or landscape, but sketches that record time and place, telling a story.
On the eve of the Artist's day we invited urban sketchers and offered them to find inspiration in our mall. Creating the mall, we tried to think it out to the last detail to make visitors’ stay as comfortable as possible. The atrium provides natural light, spacious galleries intersperse with cozy islands for relaxation, navigation is innovative and unobtrusive. In general, we tried to meet the needs of any guest and become a territory open to everyone.
Inna Sotnykova, manager of Prospect Shopping Mall

Artists are always special guests in Art Mart hypermarket. We are happy to see both professionals who know exactly what they want, and those for whom creativity is a hobby. For them our shop is a special world, where they can find everything to realize their creative fantasies.

Art Mart Store Director

People create the atmosphere by themselves. They see the world they way they want to see. We have seen new aspects of our mall in the drawings of the sketchers who managed to catch that moment, for which the world holds. And in our case - the whole social space of people, opinions and emotions. We are pleased that the artists from all over Kyiv came to the excursion around Prospect shopping mall to choose a location for creativity in a comfortable atmosphere, where all kinds of meetings - professional, personal and romantic are often held.
