Read the full catalogue essay by FT art critic Jackie Wullschlager  
"...A celebration of the modernist impressionism of Grygoriy Shyshko. He depicted the industrial landscape at the economic and emotional heart of Ukraine in bold, colour-blocked tone, capturing the sumptuous changing backcloth of the region's extreme summers and winters, and making lush, lyrical images out of ugliness".Jackie Wullschlager
