She is a constant resident of Simferopol, Crimea. She took part in many regional and all Ukraine exhibitions. Also the artist’s works can be found in private collections in Ukraine and abroad. Tatyana Fastenko is the representative of the Crimean school of painting which is bright, original as well as easily recognized. Tatyana Fastenko is one of those artists who finds beauty in the most ordinary things, avoiding pomposity. She uses a colour scheme characteristic for the Crimea with its surprising play of light and colours which can be observed everywhere. The exhibition will run till February, 3rd.
Art as a joy of life
Art as a Joy of Life dedicated to the celebration of 150th anniversary of Mykola Pymonenko’s birthday will open on December, 20. The exhibition will last till March, 10. The anniversary exhibition is one of the greatest exhibitions of the artist’s works that have taken place in the last 50 years. Many museums all over Ukraine are participating: National Art Museum of Ukraine, which has one of the biggest collections of Mykola Pymonenko’s works, museums of Kharkiv, Lviv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Sumy, Luhansk, Simferopol, Alupka.
Also many private Kyiv collectors have contributed to the current exhibition which consists of more than 100 paintings and over 40 graphic works. Pymonenko Museum in Maliutianka has given for the exhibition pieces of clothes and household which will complement the viewers’ perception of Mykola Pymonenko’s art. Folk paintings from Ivan Honchar Museum show the popularity of the artist’s works among folk craftsmen. The significance of Mykola Pymonenko’s art is timeless. His works not only show the notable part of Ukrainian national history, but also give the picturesque view of the life of Ukrainian people. As Ilya Repin once said, “He was the true Ukrainian; he will never be forgotten by his country for his paintings, pure and sweet just like Ukraine itself.”
