For over a year, we have been watching with hope and horror the plight of the Ukrainian people fighting for the right to decide their future.
 
This war - between two neighboring nations, who share a centuries-long history of victories and tragedies, culture, and familial ties - defies logic and understanding. It is inconceivable and unpalatable.
 
Lies and betrayal. Pain. Injustice. Dignity and sacrifice.  All that is the struggle and lifeblood of today's Ukraine - in painting and photography - is presented at this exhibition.
 
Logic can’t explain it. Politicians can’t end it. Only art can express it.
Art - with its expressive power - can be an effective instrument of peace against aggression.
