In Kyiv, GORN Ceramics, founded seven years ago, epitomizes resilience amid adversity. The studio gained attention in 2020 with 'Shadows,' a series of faceless clay-and-copper sculptures by co-founder Yuriy Myrko displayed at Saint-Sophia of Kyiv. These sculptures became permanent fixtures, marking a significant transition from utilitarian wares to emotionally charged art reflecting themes of human connection and spirituality. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing war with Russia, GORN continues to thrive creatively, a testament to the indomitable spirit of its founders, Yuriy Myrko and Bogdan Kryvosheya, who collaborated initially in 2017. The studio’s evolution underscores how art can become a beacon of hope and resilience in times of crisis.
