World-renowned artist Vladimir Kush is releasing a special edition of his Masterpiece compilation, “Metaphorical Journey”, in honor of Lahaina, Hawaii. This limited edition print on canvas is a way for Kush to express his gratitude to his collectors and fans who have been an integral part of Kush Fine Art in Maui.
“Metaphorical Journey” was the first limited edition print sold when Kush opened his first gallery, Kush Fine Art, in Lahaina, HI, back in 2001. Since then, the gallery has welcomed thousands of visitors every year, and Kush’s connection to Maui, particularly the historic town of Lahaina, is undeniable. Many of his artworks feature symbolisms inspired by the magic of Hawaii.
“In 2001, I finished the painting Metaphorical Journey, and you can recognize all the clouds … they are definitely Hawaiian clouds. This painting illustrates the life journey for everyone, but for me specifically, it was the journey from the homeland to the promised land, and the promised land was always associated with Hawai’i.” – Vladimir Kush
People from around the world were introduced to Metaphorical Realism for the first time in Maui, and the memories of this discovery will be cherished forever. For many, Kush’s art serves as a connection to Lahaina and Maui, and his gallery is a significant part of the town’s identity. In turn, this historic and enchanting town remains a crucial part of Kush’s own personal journey and history.
Kush has developed a unique genre of art called “Metaphorical Realism,” which blends truthful depictions of the material world with his own cultural traditions and mythology. In his first coffee table book, “Metaphorical Journey,” Kush provides readers with a guide to his artistic journey and insight into the mythical-poetical foundation that underpins his artworks bearing the VK emblem.
