Safekeeping: The Art of Val Polyanin – Opening Reception on May 5th

Val Polyanin Art Exhibition

“Polyanin was born in Ukraine and remained there until 1986. At this time, Soviet rule required artists to conform to socialist realism standards. Unwilling to be creatively stifled and feeling like he would rather die than not make art, he escaped his home country by jumping off a cargo boat and swimming to the Japanese island Honshu.

Undeterred by this loss and his arduous journey, Polyanin resettled in Crescent City, California, where he has continued to prolifically create art for the last 35 years.
