London, UK - On 9th October Firtash Foundation and the Saatchi Gallery will open Premonition: Ukrainian Art Now, which aims to provide a broad introduction to the diverse and energetic nature of Ukraine's art-scene through showcasing over 160 works by 38 artists.

However, the title acknowledges that since the early years of the new millennium, the work of many Ukrainian artists has tended to reflect, or even predict in an uncanny way, the growing challenges, issues and questions concerning their nation's future identity and stability.
