UK/RAINE presents the work of 30 selected young artists who reveal shared concerns and challenges despite the very different socio-political and artistic environments in which they work. It is clear that the dynamic of the street has infused the Ukrainian artists' work. For the UK artists, it is pluralism and difference that sets the tone. With written contributions from Nigel Hurst, Oleksandr Soloviov and Nick Hackworth the works are presented in fi e categories: installation, new media (including video and photography), painting, sculpture and street art. UK/RAINE is an exciting refl ction of the contemporary art scene in both countries and a collaboration between Saatchi Gallery and the Firtash Foundation.
