ABOUT QTARGETS
Preamble:
QTargets ART is a social initiative by Ukrainian couple artist Andrii Chernovil and curator Nadiia Chernovil based in Doha
(Qatar). It’s a not-for-profit
art project without any sponsorship looking for partnership from founda-
tions, galleries, museums, curators, the creative com- munity or service providers
in the art world, to support
the project in a different locations around the world.
About the Artist
Andrii (Abhinava) Chernovil (b.
20.03.1977, Odessa, Ukraine)
From 2010 signed works under the
pseudonym Abhinava.
Graduated Odessa State Art College in 2000.
Since 2014 has worked in Doha, Qatar, as an artist and sculptor for social collections and private commissions. In 2016 founded the social movement QTargets Art based on the concept ‘inspiration from people to peo- ple’.
QTargets Art is a platform for people of all ages and backgrounds to participate in a symbolic project to- gether. The project aims to creatively express individual messages of peace addressed to future generations through symbolic sports targets integrated into the artworks.
In QTargets an artist recognizes a target as symbolic of achieving a goal. The use of a shooting target on which beautiful messages of peace are written by hand, and then painted as art works, seeks to dispel the stereotype that a tarter is a way of expressing aggression.
In this project the target is transformed to focus on peace and beauty through works of art. The artist has invited all participants to answer the question, “what
is your positive message of peace?” All messages are written in their native language which only adds to the personalization of the message.
Kindness - art infused all with love, acceptance and compassion.
Kindness to our neighbors and towards the Earth.
Collective Action - Each participant or messenger is connected to all the others, past and future. Art finds solutions to challenges when we instill a sense of inclu- sion in every person. Each visitor of to the exhibition be- comes a part of the huge art project. The project is inter- active. All messengers are able to locate their message in the collection of artworks by a special number and
#hashtag of the location or event where it was written. Art is able to save these positive messages for the ages and let people leave their fingerprints on history.
Relationships - These have the power to change lives and our world. The artist tries to engage more signifi-
cantly with others, with the belief that systemic positive change will follow. The message
from the artist is “art is a unique lan- guage which all people understand
without translation but there are words and deep meaning if only
you could read and feel it.” SENSE OF BELONGING
Creating artworks with people’s positive messages: the artist believes that creating a sense of belonging is instrumental in ensuring that we continue to make strides in advancing the
quality of life for every member of our community.
The aim is to go beyond tradition- al boundaries and relationships to
ensure that each individual has a sense that he or she is genuinely an active part
of cultural art life. The QTargets projects are practical, innovative and joyful expressions of this
belief. What galleries and museums curate, messengers can create.
Catalog details:
There are several sections which the artist would like to divide by series:
1 The Social Artworks series is compiled from guest messages at various project exhibitions (London, Ukraine, India, Qatar, USA etc.).
2 The artworks of the series Happy and Sad Faces of People around the World are painted upon targets by Andrii Chernovil. This has the purpose of reflecting on what future we choose for our children and what each of us does for this.
3 Large canvases with the images with targets as symbols of the achievement of goals.
4 Small Targets collection of meaningful drawings and graphics on the small size target paper with the images of categories of personal aims and objectives.
5 TARGETIZM as more than an exhibition title. TAR- GETIZM is a world art movement. Paintings on targets of by artists from around the world who joined the project to spread the positive idea of the target - as a symbol of the achievement of a goal.
In early 2019 about 80 artists created paintings by various techniques, including painting, graphics, and even sculpture and installation.
