On August 21, 2025, PinchukArtCentre and Ukrainian Railways unveiled Motion, a large-scale painting by Ukrainian artist Lesia Khomenko. Created specially for Kyiv’s Central Railway Station and commissioned by the PinchukArtCentre, the work transforms one of the capital’s busiest transit hubs into a site of contemporary art.
Motion extends Khomenko’s solo exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre into the public sphere. The work composition reflects the architecture of the station (the large rolling stairs) while presenting an abstracted image of Ukrainian society, depicted as a continuous collective movement of people—standing together in defence against external aggression while simultaneously safeguarding the democratic values that underpin the nation.
