New Ukrainian Painting premiers in New York a particular group of emerging to mid-career Ukrainian painters committed to exploring new and active roles for artists within society dealing with post-colonial issues like transculturalism and the belief that as cultural systems of exchange evolve, they are no longer constrained by outdated boundaries and regulations. These Ukrainian painters express a sense of both liberation and anxiety. As the former institutions once defining their identity have been challenged, they now explore what is it to be Ukrainian today.
