“TO UKRAINE WITH LOVE” an exhibit of photographs by Roksolana Tymiak-Lonchyna opens on Saturday, February 6th at 7:00 pm. The exhibit continues through February 28th.
Dr. Tymiak-Lonchyna enjoys photographing in many countries throughout the world, but always returns to Ukraine, since her love for the country and its people is unsurpassed by that of any other place. Very comfortable behind the lens, Roksolana has found that people everywhere have much in common. She focuses on human conditions and the impact they have on life, and she captures the splendor of landscapes that surround its peoples.
Roksolana Tymiak-Lonchyna compares Ukraine with other countries, showing through photography that her love for her own heritage is as strong as her respect for the heritage of others. Her exhibit strives to show that Ukraine and Ukrainians have always had much to offer; strong character, magnificent landscapes, rich culture, notable history, and significant architecture. In their daily battle to persevere, to succeed, to be free and happy, to foster a better life for themselves and their sons and daughters, they all work hard to fulfill these dreams under the same sky of all nations.

The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art welcomes an exhibition of paintings from Ukrainian/Chicago artist, Anatole Kolomayets. Born in the Poltava region of Ukraine, Kolomayets (b.1927) relocated to Chicago upon graduation from the Royal Academy of Arts in Liege, Belgium, 1954. He has since firmly established himself as an artist in Chicago within the international community. His work was shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions. He was one of the founders of the Ukrainian Artists’ Group “Monolith”, active in Chicago 1954-1958. Kolomayets is foremost a colorist, though traces of artistic influence from his background of travel and education abroad are apparent in the diverse combination of styles within which he works. This exhibition will focus on a selection of works from the last two decades.
Anatole Kolomayets has had numerous individual exhibitions in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles and Denver. He has also participated in group shows
throughout the U.S. and abroad, and was named Merited Artist of Ukraine by President Yushchenko in 2007. The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is delighted to welcome Anatole Kolomayets for his first showing within our walls.
