Gennadii & Lucy Gogoliuk: Echoes

Gennadii said he had seen this exhibition, with his eldest daughter, in his dreams before she was born. Throughout his career, fragments of Lucy’s childhood appeared in his work: her doodles, use of colour, and unguarded curiosity. Her childhood drawings became a source of inspiration, and like Matisse’s daughter Marguerite - Lucy often appeared in her father’s paintings, dressed in fantastical costumes.

Now an artist in her own right, Lucy has studied at Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal Drawing School, yet she still traces her earliest lessons in colour and composition back to her father’s studio. Her work, though distinct, carries the imprint of that shared creative language. Together, their paintings speak of something more than either voice alone. They exist in a space between memory and imagination, where reality shifts into something more fragmented and poetic.

This exhibition is both a family story and a meditation on artistic inheritance. It honours the thread of inspiration that dances between generations, work that celebrates the magic found in the everyday, and the profound connection between two artists.
