Max Vityk. The Warriors of Light / Outcrops

About

Curated by Walter Hoydysh, PhD, Director of Art at the Institute, it features two major series of works by Mr. Vityk: the monumental The Warriors of Light and Outcrops. The former group represents the artist’s visceral responses and extraordinary interpretations to the critical events surrounding the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings and 2014 Euromaidan protests and ensuing bloodshed in Kyiv, Ukraine. The latter group of paintings demonstrates an abstract yet technically calculated approach to depicting and reconstructing the geological aging and forming of the earth’s crust. This exhibition marks Mr. Vityk’s second solo showing with the UIA in New York.
