Hand-Painted Works by Kyivan Artist Alexander Khomenko

 St. Nicholas icon


Since my current University of Toronto Slavics course on The Origins of Russia and Ukraine covers icons and cossacks along with Ivan the Terrible and Putin, I went through some of the late Alexander Khomenko's art that I still have on hand.

In the 1980s the artist worked in church restoration at Kyiv's Pecherska Lavra Monastery of the Caves and at churches in Tokmak, Zaporizhia, and Sevastopol.

Below are a few selections from his 1995-2008 pen and ink works.
