Postcard for Ukraine
This item is available in our Brighton gallery or as an add-on for online orders.
Gavin Mitchell has created Postcard for Ukraine to raise funds for PCM Garczyn - a youth centre that has been designated as a place of collective residence for refugees from Ukraine.
Postcard for Ukraine depicts a geisha, proudly sporting a peace badge and holding a Ukrainian flag aloft in solidarity with the war-torn nation. Mitchell explains:
‘Using the Geisha image from a vintage postcard felt to me like a representation of the universal show of support around the world toward Ukrainians in the war with Russia. The composition is evocative of the socialist realism style of art in the USSR in the early 20th century, which amongst other things was designed to represent the emancipation of the common people - an ironic visual twist given that Russia are now seeking to conquer and enforce their will on an independent country.’
Add this postcard to your order at the checkout and all proceeds go directly to the charity.
From a limited edition of 250, the postcard is embossed with Gavin Mitchell’s artist stamp.

About the artist
According to contemporary artist Gavin Mitchell, the phrase that best describes his work is ‘mixed up’. From his inspirations to his processes to his use of materials, all the way to the finished product, Mitchell’s aesthetic is determined by an idea of disorder and deconstruction, pulling apart the ordinary to put it back together in extraordinary ways.
Inspired by early experimental collage artist Hannah Höch, Mitchell’s work is about a “journey of discovery” in which all “preconceptions” must be abandoned. The result is a body of work that speaks its own, unique visual language, built through layer upon layer of imagery, to create highly original and provocative works of art.
