@ Chicago Grand Gallery

On view through Wednesday, November 6th

Chicago Grand Gallery is honored to host “Heritage of Resistance: Heavyweight Graphics of War,” a striking new exhibition by acclaimed Ukrainian graphic artist Dmytro Krishovsky. The show will open on October 6th, 2024, with a reception from 5 PM to 9 PM at Chicago Grand Gallery, 2842 W Chicago Ave. The exhibition will feature 30 unique works that reflect on war, resilience, and the powerful role of cultural identity in the face of conflict.

Krishovsky’s work, known for its intricate detail and profound symbolism, explores the scars war leaves on individuals and nations. Through his complex graphic art, he documents the harsh realities of war while celebrating the strength of cultural memory and resistance. Krishovsky’s figures, dressed in forgotten traditional costumes and adorned with ancient symbols, serve as metaphors for survival, resilience, and the deep connection between people and their land. This exhibition is a vivid reflection of the ongoing war in Ukraine, blending historical elements with the urgent modern-day struggle for survival and identity.
