IVAN HOROBCHUK’S PAINTING
Expert in arts Tetiana Zhurunova considers Ivan Horobchuk from Vinnytsia to be an artist of his time, the one who identified himself with his people. The main thing in his creativity is his sincere love to his countrymen, essence and foundations of their lives. The master’s works dedicated to the village raise nostalgia of childhood and youth when reality is covered with the feeling of light and peace. It is a memory from the distance that makes our world ideal. In painting he appeared with the works in country landscape genre, later he created city landscapes with form generalization and decorative view at coloring. He was also captivated by still life. But he found himself when he allowed the images saved in genetic memory to come to the surface. Horobchuk’s works are interesting by joining of plot content with philosophical generalization.
