Their work was characterized by a minimalist approach with a focus on typography. However, this wasn't the first wave of creative immigrants to Canada.
A decade earlier, many Ukrainian graphic artists had to flee from an earlier Russian invasion to seek asylum overseas.
As a result, many talented Ukrainian artists arrived in Canada contributing to Canadian design starting in the 1950s but continuing into the 1980s. Their styles were a mix of European modernist movements like Fauvism and Neo-primitivism with a strong influence from Cossack Baroque.
