Venue 32 on the Severn Vale Art Trail is the United Reform Church in Thornbury where Ukrainian artists will be showcasing their work.

The exhibition brings together three artistic voices to explore the enduring human story of a nation shaped by history, identity and resilience.

Roman Bochuk transforms contemporary figures into modern icons – embodiments of dignity, spirit and emotional strength. His work reflects the human landscape of a country defending not only its territory but its sense of self.

Complementing these portraits, Arthur Orlonov’s depictions of Kyiv Rus princesses reconnect viewers with Ukraine’s deep historical roots.

In powerful contrast, the photographic work of frontline photojournalist Rusian Ganushchak offers an unfiltered witness of the realities of war. His images document moments of tension, survival and truth, reminding us of the human cost behind global headlines.

This exhibition invites viewers to see Ukraine not just through the lens of conflict, but as a continuum of humanity – resilient, rooted and alive. Ukraine – Humanity Under Fire is a testament to a people whose story stretches from history into the present moment, carried forward by courage, memory and spirit.
