Fun until futher notice (2026) by Kateryna Kopeikina - subjektiv.art

Kateryna Kopeikina
Artist from Ukraine
Kateryna Kopieikina was born in Donetsk, Ukraine, and in 2017 her artistic practice began with tattooing. Over time, it evolved into a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, sculpture, performance, and movement. Her practice explores intimacy, displacement, grief, and the psychological consequences of war through personal narratives and symbolic imagery. Blurring the boundaries between reality, myth, and dark fairy tales, she creates emotionally charged works in which tenderness coexists with fear, desire, and loss. Drawing from lived experience and collective memory, her work examines how the body carries trauma and how care, ritual, and imagination become strategies for survival.

One important work from series "Structure of power" is “Fun Until Further Notice” depicting an injured horse with bright, almost entertaining elements embedded into its body. For me, it reflects something about Ukrainian society: we try to attract attention to our pain, but at the same time we resist exposing the pain too directly. We surround it with colour, humour and spectacle, making it possible to look at something that would otherwise be unbearable.
