Exhibition Grand Opening: Ukrainian non-conformist artists. In search of Freedom

Join us for the opening of an exhibition featuring four Ukrainian artists: Volodymyr Makarenko, Anton Solomoukha, Volodymyr Strelnikov, and Vitaly Sazonov, who came of age as artists in the USSR in the 1970s and later found creative freedom in Paris.
Trained in Soviet Socialist Realism, they rejected propaganda and instead explored figurative and abstract art inspired by the ideals of the free world, from Renaissance echoes to modernist color and surrealist forms.
This exhibition poses a timeless question: Can an artist shaped by Soviet ideology be free?
For these artists, the answer is yes.
We look forward to welcoming you.
