Exhibition "Ukraine. Ivan Marchuk in Vienna"
Opening of the exhibition on May 12 at 6 p.m.
National artist of Ukraine, laureate of National prize of Ukraine named after Taras Shevchenko, honorary citizen of the cities of Kyiv and Ternopil, a member of the Golden Guild of the Roman Academy of contemporary art, Ivan Marchuk is probably the most famous artist in Ukraine.
The artist created more than 5000 paintings, which can be found on all of the world continents. For half a century of creative activity he had more than 150 monographic and 50 collective exhibitions.
Marchuk invented a completely original technique «pliontanism» (from the Ukrainian «pliontaty» – weave, knit), which is teetering on the brink of man-made and technological complexity and through the filigree of performance and complexity it is almost impossible to reproduce.
In Vienna, the artist has already created numerous works and painted a series of "Viennese Rhapsodies".
