In On the Road, Ukrainian contemporary artist Oleksii Shcherbak invites us to follow a semi-fictional traveller along a trail that is at once real and mythical. Shcherbak conceived the exhibition during a two-week trek across Corsica’s GR20 trail, a 185-kilometre mountain path known for its wild terrain and psychological intensity.
Transforming his lived experience into a symbolic, interior odyssey, Shcherbak’s protagonist navigates strange lands populated with chimeras and monsters—but whether these are real encounters or mental obstacles, only the artist can say.
In line with the charitable mission of the Voices programme, Unit is proud to confirm that 10% of sales proceeds will be donated to a charity selected by the artist. Shcherbak has chosen the Hospitallers Medical Battalion, a Ukrainian volunteer medical battalion providing aid and trauma care to Ukrainian soldiers in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.
Unit seeks to preserve the artist’s essential role as the flag-bearer of creativity in our future.
