Members of the Society and invited guests previewed the exhibition which features Boris’ paintings and drawings of Guildford scenes complemented by a display of some of his wartime drawings, completed when Boris a teenager, had been exiled from Lvov (then in Poland) to Siberia with his mother.

The drawings prompted conversation and much admiration

The Mayor said that Boris had started drawing as a young child and his paintings now formed a much valued collection and record of Guildford as it is, and as it has been throughout the post war decades.

Many of the prints can be purchased.
