Event Description

West End Gallery presents Peter Shostak’s premiere solo exhibition of twenty-five new paintings in Victoria. This exhibition, in conjunction with the display at the Royal British Columbia Museum presented by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (B.C. Branch), the Ukrainian Cultural Centre of Victoria and the Consulate of Ukraine for British Columbia, celebrates and commemorates the 125th Anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Canada.

Born in 1943 in Bonnyville, Alberta, to Ukrainian immigrant parents, Peter Shostak grew up on the family farm working and playing pond hockey with his brothers. When the time came he moved away to study at the University of Alberta and graduated with a Masters Degree in Education. Since 1979 Shostak has been working as a professional artist painting vignettes reminiscent of Alberta’s past and present.

In 2003, Peter Shostak received the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in recognition of his outstanding exemplary contribution to Canada.

Most major cities in Canada have repeatedly hosted exhibitions of Shostak’s work and with this 125th Anniversary of Ukrainian Immigration Peter will also mark his first solo exhibition in Victoria. This exceptional collection of twenty-five new paintings captures the essence of life and seasons on the prairies, features West Coast landscapes and showcases traditional Ukrainian heritage and dress.

Join us for the opening reception Saturday September 10 with artist in attendance from 11am-4pm.
