Transience, an exhibition of new work by Ukranian-American artist Yuri Boyko, came about as a series eliciting passing moments. Moments in time,moments evoking the senses or our memories. Something that we can’t put a finger on exactly: a vague recollection, a dissipating trail of a scent, or a dreamt scene that doesn’t make sense and leaves us puzzled about the seen imagery. Or, to the contrary: a sharp, clear, but short-lived physical, mental, or psychic event that, in spite of its duration, stays with us for a long time. The series is juxtaposing uncertainty of interpretation to active manifestation.

Yuri Boyko is a multimedia artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. His studio is located in Hollywood, but his ideas are influenced by a far wider world.
