Autumn Exhibition of original Oil Paintings by Ukrainian Artist Mykhailo Velychko
I would like to invite you to the Autumn 2025 exhibition of Oil Paintings on canvas by Michael (Mykhailo) Velychko in Kyiv. I have attached both sides of the flyer; do feel free to print it and display it anywhere you can but most importantly, I hope that you may be able to attend the exhibition in person.
This exhibition will again be at The Sentinel Gallery in Wivenhoe, near Colchester Essex CO7 9DX. There is a Car Park nearby and the Train Station is within a short walk.
All monies raised are for the Artist and his family in Ukraine with donations to UA 24 (Ukrainian Humanitarian Aid) and a percentage to the Rob George Foundation which was set up by the Gallery owners, to whom I am very grateful, to raise funds for Leukaemia sufferers in memory of their son who died at the age of 19.
The exhibition is open from Tuesday 16th to Sunday 21st September 10 am to 5 pm. I will curate the exhibition because Michael, who suffers from Leukaemia, cannot leave Ukraine.
There will be around 50 original paintings; many of which have only recently arrived in England. There will also be 2026 Calendars which are already selling fast, a range of Limited Edition signed and framed prints plus a wide selection of blank Greetings Cards depicting his work. Also to buy will be a range of Collector’s Dolls made by Ukrainian Grandmothers.
I hope that you may be able to attend as whilst I know there are many other conflicts and areas of unease currently in the World, he does need your help.
May I also add that I would be happy to have someone shadow me with a view to me passing on the Baton. They will be able to learn more about Art Sales and whilst I do not charge commission, they could perhaps turn an interest or passion into a business.
Many thanks and best wishes,
John

Valerie Irwin Archive Project
An artist's response to the demolition and construction at Cranfield's Flour Mill at the Ipswich Dock between 2004 and 2009.
This powerful piece of art amounts to 4,050 drawings and 25 sketchbooks. Many of these were quick responses, gestural, action and multi-layered as well as observational drawings.
The Valerie Irwin Archive Project charity intends to raise funds to ensure public access to the collection through the including:
- Costs involved involved in preservation of the drawings
- Purchase of archive suitable storage files and boxes
- Cost of digitising particular selections and sequences of drawings which would be of particular interest to the public.
All work with cataloguing, packing, oral history compilation and organisation will be conducted by volunteers under the guidance of the Suffolk Record Office.
Below are a few images from the collection showing a mixture of construction and demolition.
