Relationships and tension; the sterile and absurd; Nordic folklore and Hollywood; Bin Laden and Comics. Ulyana's works are deeply analytical and exude political and emotional symbolism. She combines diverse styles of art and art history, drawing from Rubens, the Italian Renaissance and Dutch Masters, Cartoons and Graffiti. Her works have unique presence, they engage and challenge with immediate gravity, and encompass a historical scale of significant magnitude. This exhibition expands on the extensive and detailed thematic narratives that are present across all her works.

Exhibitor Summary Building on her rigorous classical training, and free aesthetics of St Martins, Ulyana reflects a timeless, analytical perspective in her work. In a time when the headlines are grabbed by the transitory, her works are challenging, engaging and focus on the substantial, pervasive and longer term perspective. Historic and contemporary, solid and intriguing, statement and question, her works throw an alternative dimension on our attitudes and perceptions. Often referencing classic English culture: the establishment, the class system, the social pressures to conform to tradition and the need for escapism. The works combine very traditional (yet re-invented) visual elements such as costume, with the aesthetics of modern and industrial architectural spaces. The works exhibited will include: Sunday Roast, Family, Sisters, New Russians, Susan and the Elders, Don Manuel Ozario de Zuniga and his Son, Saint Turkey, Prometheus as a Victim of Global Overcrowding (Good Things Come to Those Who Wait), several portraits and drawings.
