Ukrainian Artist Exhibits at Les Beaux Arts

Ukrainian artist, Taras Borovyk, will exhibit his oil paintings at Les Beaux Arts Gallery from Sept. 10 - Oct. 19, 2017

Taras Borovyk, a Ukrainian artist from Upstate New York, will open his exhibition of oil paintings, My Journey Through Colors, at Les Beaux Arts Galleryon Sunday, September 10. The exhibit will run through Thursday, October 19, 2017.

Living in the United States since 1997, Borovyk has applied the rich background of his Lviv art education and his experience as a muralist for elegant homes and commercial environments. His early paintings bear his Ukrainian soul with their strong vibrant colors and shadowy figures. In recent years, his style shifted to become more abstracted and decorative. "I do not create art unless it creates itself as I work,” Taras explains. "It could be anything. It is like a ghost that appears when I pick up the brush. Whether I see a doorway or a still life that is abstracted in my view, or remember a piece of music that takes shape on canvas. It guides me through as it develops."

In addition to his work as muralist, Borovyk has had multiple solo exhibitions and been highlighted in group shows in New York, Chicago, and Ukraine, since 2000.
