Member of numerous regional, national, all-Union and solo exhibitions (since 1954). Member of the National Union of artists of Ukraine (1970). Khorenko is considered to be one of the most typical representatives of the severe style in the Ukrainian soviet art from 70s to 90s. In his lifetime he was able to convey the limitless Majesty of industrial Ukraine. The influence of A. Deineki is noticeable in his thematic paintings. Khorenko’s paintings caused interest in connoisseurs and collectors of art not only because of his neo-modern style, which denied the principles of socialist realism, developing new forms in art, but also for the exquisite manner of painting and lyrics in all his artwork.
