The urgency of the painting is offset by subtle tonal variations of thinned paint and an interplay of surface reflectivity. - Catherine Collins

Annunciation
Two figures: to the left in red is the Angel Gabriel and to the right in blue is the Virgin Mary. Gabriel looks directly at Mary and gestures with his hands. Mary’s gaze is averted, downcast. In the style of Byzantine icons, the gowns and drapery are painted in a stylized manner, whereas the faces are much more detailed. The halos are in gold leaf in relief. The background is painted gold with applied mesh over top. The background is sparse with Cyrillic writing and a depiction of a Byzantine basilica. The imagery carries onto the well of the frame, with a host of blue-draped angels in various positions witnessing the event. The outer component of the commercial frame remains plain.
Crucifixion (Naïve)
The icon is a replica of a Carpathian icon from the Presov region, Ukraine. Influenced by Carpathian idols, the central composition of Christ on the cross with three women to his right and three men to his left, presumably these include the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdelene and St. John the Baptist. In the background rises a simplified city scene with churches prominent. Two angels in roundels continue the symmetrical composition at the top of the panel. The work is supported on panel and all non-painted areas of the work are sheathed in copper inlay, built up of small rectangular and square pieces of the metal fused together. The frame is hand-fashioned, simply constructed, the outer component painted.

Ritual of the Sausage
An elaborate pseudo-religious/social feast is taking place set in a windowless environment. A macabre celebration or wake, this grotesque fantasy is overwhelmed with the symbolic complexity of the carnal, precarious nature of humankind. The cycle of life and the realization that all living things consume other living things is presented. Death is forefront, holding a knife. Strings of sausages become fetish objects. They are food, rope, halo, faeces, clothing, phallus, ritual instruments and playthings. The dissonant ritual group, nun, crook, prisoner and butcher with knife and pail perform. The sausage trio turns round and round with a black bird. The female prisoner with shaved head is bound and blindfolded, representing another victim. The four handmaidens attend and service the reclining female figure. The older woman kneeing praying on her beads is straddled on the head by a white bird squawking at its black companion across the room. The two birds frame all the variations of light and dark that existing in the human pysche.

Hunger Strike in Ottawa for Valentyn Moroz
Students in front of the Soviet Embassy, Ottawa, protesting the arrest and incarceration of Ukrainian historian Valentyn Moroz in Vladimir Prison, Vladimir, Russia. In the foreground, members of the general public shuffle by a semi-circle of protesters, who show their dedication to their cause through their placards and by refusing the plates of food offered to them by figures outside the picture plane. In the background, the Soviet embassy is depicted as a white block with trompe l’oeil trees painted on at least one side, suggesting Kurelek’s lack of trust for the Soviet diplomats. Arising from, and contained within, the white block embassy is an iron cage containing, it is presumed, Valentyn Moroz. The image on the side of the cage depicts the scales of justice weighing on the side of Soviet Communism (the hammer and sickle) rather than itself (a smaller version of the scales of justice).

Against a painted background of ancient runes and modern symbols, the artist has illustrated cuttings from magazines and newspapers documenting what he understood as “false idols” of 1960s society: political ideology, extraterrestrial life, mind-altering drugs, astrology, spiritualism and pornography. Formally, this work is structured through two contrasting grid-like arrangements: through the loose haphazard placement of ephemera over top the tight isomorphic blocks, each containing a different rune or symbol.

In the upper right corner of the painting, there is a reference to the work by master Ukrainian painter Ilya Repin (1844-1930) of the Zaporozhian Cossacks of Ukraine who are writing a letter to the Turkish Sultan (circa 1878-91). Directly underneath is a pair of woman’s legs splayed open for the birthing of watermelons. Below that a housewife with her eyes removed presents her perfectly cooked turkey. The artist inserts her own image into the work, located approximately half way down on the right side. She stares out at the viewer with a worried expression while clutching a Kozak-Mamai doll with a moustache.
