a discerning collection of the finest contemporary Russian and Ukrainian art. As followers in the solitude of Russian art academies that, especially during the course of the twentieth century, emerged as leaders in the rendering of technical skill in the classicist tradition, we showcase painters who emerged in the Flemish realist spirit of Ilya Repin and Ivan Aivazovski, and modernist leanings of Kasimir Malevich.

Contemporary students of this tradition demonstrate a technical skill and form that poetically merge to produce compositions that are authoritative in their execution and conceptually crisp. They capture the emotional response witnessed in the interplay of light and shadow as conveyed by the Masters of the northern European Renaissance. Their comprehension of light in association with symmetry and refinement lend a sense of dramaturgy to their masterful compositions.
