The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is pleased to present

Anton Solomoukha: Myth, Fantasy and Figure
September 27-October 27, 2002
opening reception Friday, September 27, 2002, 6-9pm

Anton Solomoukha was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1945. He graduated from the Kyiv State Art Insitute in 1975, and worked as a muralist until his emigration to Paris, France in 1978. Since then he has exhibited his work internationally, including exhibits in the United States (New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington DC), Germany (Cologne, Munich), and France (Paris, Lyon). He continues to live and work in Paris.

A founding member of the Ukrainian Nonconformists, Solomoukha established a reputation for his skill in integrating folkloric Ukrainian themes with contemporary elements. His experiments with surrealism and abstraction have produced canvases that explore myth and language in a visually compelling manner. The works on view in this exhibit show his shift to an expressionist style, while continuing his investigation of signs and symbols.
