Summary:Jentleson and Mancuso discuss the George Voronovsky: Memoryscapes, an exhibition on view through August 13, 2023 at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Voronovsky began painting his Ukrainian past and his American present, including folklore-infused scenes and idyllic landscapes from his childhood memories in and around Kyiv as well as the bustling cityscapes and waterfronts of the rapidly transforming South Beach. In his works, he united his past and present worlds with a bright palette, high horizon lines and rich renderings of flora and fauna that make his paintings visually captivating and transporting. By combining disparate elements Voronovsky achieves a stylistic and cultural synthesis, which animates much of his work.
