Maya Hayuk Open Reception

Experience Maya Hayuk's unveiling of a blacklight-reactive environment that has taken over her residency space. It allows the viewer to float through her neon world of patterns made from paint and pasted paper. The reception features a live performance and affords the viewer the opportunity to sink even deeper into the mind state that allows her to form these abstract spaces!

Hayuk has gained notoriety for her colorful, dynamic and abstract murals, paintings and screen prints. Characterized by symmetrical compositions and intricate patterns, such works recall traditional Ukrainian crafts, space travel and bizarre spiritual landscapes. She combines advanced painting techniques with the pursuit of psychedelic experience through visual form, so that her work appears to have been made with a carefully studied carelessness; languid, paint drips give way into swaths of color, while rigid geometric shapes open out into free forms.
