Art Axcess Gallery and SLS Hotel, Beverly Hills are honored to announce “Shadows of Us,” a powerful and timely group exhibition, opening during Frieze Los Angeles Art Week. It showcases the works of emerging Ukrainian female artists Inna Kharchuk, Anna Veriki, Iryna Maksymova, and Liza Zhdanova.

In the context of conflict, this exhibition explores both individual and shared experiences, offering insights into the country’s path of enduring hardship and resilience.
The artists explore themes deeply rooted in history and nostalgia, engaging with the past not just as a memory but as a vital part of their present narrative. The artworks embody a response to recent hardships, offering a visual dialogue that bridges the gap between Ukraine’s turbulent history and its contemporary reality. These pieces resonate with the collective memory of a nation, echoing the sentiments of loss, strength, and enduring hope.
“Shadows of Us” offers a powerful and deeply human perspective on contemporary life and art in Ukraine. It invites viewers to engage with the narratives of resilience, transformation, and the indomitable human spirit, as expressed through the unique voices of these talented Ukrainian artists.
