PANAS YARMOLENKO
“Portrait of my Country”
23 August – 10 September, 2006
Ukrainian House, Kyiv
Curators: Petro Honchar, Ivan Honchar Museum,
Lidia Lykhach, Rodovid-Gallery, Kyiv
The village portrait painting is a phenomenon of Ukrainian art which has not yet been sufficiently studied or presented in Ukraine, and, consequently, the world. For decades the official art scholars did not pay any attention to the existence of these unique art islands on our artistic map, because how else could one explain “the phenomenon of Yarmolenko” – a most interesting village artist who is being shown here for the first time.
