In 2024, almost three years into the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian artists who left their homeland for political reasons have been working under the weight of practical constraints. They have had to find new galleries and buyers, worked with limited funding while juggling a second job or family life, squeezing their work into makeshift exhibition spaces.
