‘Art-Emigrants’ exhibition presenting “hyperrealism” artworks, created by Ukrainian artists that have lived outside Ukraine for a long time, opened at Modern Fine Arts Museum of Ukraine. The director of the museum Mykhaylo Shevchenko collected the legendary names: Serhiy Bazilev, Serhiy Geta and Serhiy Sherstyuk from Moscow, Eugen Gordiets from Pennsylvania, Evgeniy Prokopov from Chicago, Anton Skorubskiy from New York and Anton Solomukha from Paris. All of them, indeed, are classics. For example, Tretyakovska Gallery in Moscow dedicated one hall solely to three artists – Bazilev, Geta and Sherstyuk – who moved to Moscow and became the founders of the new style there. Solomukha earned fame for his name by consistently painting “entire Louvre.” Solomukha placed Parisian celebrities naked in compositions of famous historical pictures. In Paris he was nicknamed a “dirty classic.” “Art-Emigrants” exhibition consists of paintings, graphic artworks, photographs and sculptures.

Modern Fine Art Museum of Ukraine (14 Bratska, 463-7669). Open daily 10 a.m. till 7 p.m. Through Jan. 25
