Art at the Institute is pleased to announce the start to its Fall 2016 season with an exhibition of paintings by noted Ukrainian artist Serhiy Hai.

About

Curated by Walter Hoydysh, PhD, director of Art at the Institute, the exhibition will be the Lviv-based artist’s second solo show with The Ukrainian Institute of America.

The exhibition will feature four groups of paintings depicting iconic motifs traditional to the canon of western art: riders and horses, nudes, masks, and still-lifes—themes the artist has explored comprehensively throughout his prolific career.

As a formalist with a nod to the School of Paris, and a visceral affinity with archaic Etruscan conventions, Hai’s paintings are as much about surface and the process of painting as they are about subject and its subtlety. There exists an inner connection between his chosen motifs—partly understood as symbols of a lost humanity (unidentifiable visages), partly as symbols of the mysteries of life on earth—and the forms that transmit them to us purely on the aesthetic, the “beautiful.”
