curated by Happenstance Gallery

You are invited to be the first to see new original art work by TAZ, brought to London from Ukraine by Happenstance Gallery.
TAZ is a contemporary Ukrainian artist, born in Ternopil (western Ukraine). The West is the centre of creativity in Ukraine, and Ternopil is at the heart of it.
TAZ spent a large part of his unconscious childhood and all his conscious life drawing. Having finished secondary school in 2006 he surprised even himself by entering the department of Fine and Decorative Art at the Art Academy in Ternopil. In the same year he and his friends - street artists Volt and HNMR - arranged a graffiti art show at Ternopil Art Museum which was very successful. This led to widespread recognition and exposure at numerous art festivals in the creative hub of Ukraine.
Then, in 2011 (the final year of his studies) he was kicked out of the Academy, ostensibly because of his own strong views not fitting with the Art Academy. After a not insignificant protest, TAZ was allowed back in and now he has graduated and become one of the youngest emergingl Ukrainian contemporary artists.
About TAZ Art Work
After various experiments in different techniques (graffiti, comics, street art, fine painting etc.) TAZ settled on drawings and watercolours.The genre he’s working in now is called by art critics – fantastic art. His characters, created by a deep imagination and very often wearing bird heads, have attracted loads of attention among art lovers across Europe.

Our new exhibition ‘TAKE ME IN’ is now on at The Library (235 Upper Street, Islington, London N11RU, near Highbury&Islington station). view map
‘Take Me In’ is the first post-feminist art exhibition. Women are not equal. They are better than men. More beautiful, more simple, women are the ideal human form. This world is owned by men. The only way to subvert it is through the relentless perfection of form, aesthetic and sentiment.
‘Take Me In’ is an exhibition that puts the divine female inside your psyche. Born in Ukraine, filtered through London, ‘Take Me In’ shares a utopian vision of women as created, not as a man-made construct.
