You are invited to the opening of an Exhibit of Graphic Art by Bohdan Soroka on Friday, Jan 8, 2010 at 7 pm at the Ukrainian National Museum. Exhibit continues thru Jan 30, 2010. Son of politically active parents, Bohdan Soroka was born in prison and raised by his grandparents. His mother was sentenced to prison in Lviv for her anti-soviet views. His father died in Siberia for refusing to support the soviet regime.

Bohdan Soroka’s work in graphic arts is readily recognized by its rather expressionistic style and very imaginative pictorial representations. A talented artist, he is also a strong communicator and his prowess lies in his ability to speak to the viewer directly and clearly through the images he puts on paper.

Bohdan Soroka belongs to that generation of Ukrainian artists who, in the 1960’s under the regime of the Soviet Union, used their art to protest their oppressors. Soroka has had personal exhibits in Ukraine, England, Germany, France, Canada, Toronto, and throughout the United States.

The Ukrainian National Museum is located in the heart of the Ukrainian Village, at 2249 West Superior Street in Chicago. Hours: Thursday through Sunday, 11 am to 4 pm Admission: Adults $5.00, Children under 12 – Free.
