$250

Discover the burst of colour, a frenzy in motion, Balas' artwork "ARKAN", the passion for life so typically captured in Ukrainian Folk Dance. 

Well-known artist, Shawna Balas studied Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba. “Arkan” is from a body of work influenced by her dance career in the 1980's. This piece acts as a memory in time and the exhilaration of moments spent on stage, which so many dancers experience and cherish even long after they hang up their red leather boots.

Arkan is a popular dance of the Ukrainian Hutsul people from Hutsulshchyna, southwestern Ukraine, which is traditionally performed by men around a bonfire. The word “Arkan” also refers to the step the male dancers perform while dancing around the fire. The intricate steps, the fast paced music and the costumes are what inspired Balas to bring together this strong image.
