Ukrainian Artist Dimitri Danish One-man Show At Vinings Gallery

April 3, 2009 - PRLog -- SMYRNA, GEORGIA--Vinings Gallery is pleased to welcome museum artist Dimitri Danish to Atlanta for his only 2009 U.S. appearance. Danish appears at Vinings Gallery for the first time since 2007 and will kick off his one-man show at receptions on Saturday evening May 2 and Sunday May 3. The artist has created a unique body of work exclusively for this show and collectors will enjoy the chance to meet Danish and view these original works.

Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, Danish took up his first drawing pencil before he was able to walk or talk. And as he matured, painting became as natural for him as breathing, eating and sleeping.

With an education focused on art throughout his formative years, Danish developed a love for cityscapes and painting the places that he read about in books, heard about on the radio or in a conversation. The artist became especially intrigued with painting doors and windows because symbolically they let him view and enter unknown worlds.

After college, Danish's career as a fine artist took off and he began to exhibit in Ukraine, Russia and other Eastern European countries. In 2000, the Kharkiv State Museum of Fine Art conducted a solo exhibition of his work called "Cities and Mountains" and purchased three of his paintings for their permanent collection. The New Jersey Museum of Modern Art also has three of Danish's works. And, in 2003, the Ukrainian government purchased a Danish painting and presented it to the outgoing ambassador of the United States to Ukraine.

The Vinings Gallery show kicks off the month-long exhibition and will showcase the most exclusive body of Danish's original paintings available for sale anywhere in the world. The show will run through May 22.

Gary Handler, Vinings Gallery owner has been anticipating this show for quite some time. "It will be wonderful to welcome Dimitri back to the Gallery," he said. "When he was here in 2007, the show was magical and full of original gems, including beautiful, small paintings that really spoke to our collectors. Dimitri making his only U.S. appearance here with us at Vinings Gallery means that existing collectors from around the Southeast and those new to his work are in for a very, very special treat!"
