At last year's Art Cologne, Ukrainian artist Lesia Khomenko had a solo presentation with Voloshyn Gallery. Lesia Khomenko's artistic approach involves a reevaluation of the role of painting: she deconstructs narrative images and transforms paintings into objects, installations, and performances. The new works, created specifically for Art Cologne, including "Nomadic Self- Portrait With Rolled Canvas" and "Explosion in the trench," reflect Khomenko's personal experience of life in the early stages of war, evacuation, later migration, and her observations of the war in real-time.
