In Lubny, at the Gallery of Fine Arts of the local history museum named after H. Stelletsky, an exhibition of paintings by the family of Oleksiy and Oksana Ivanyuk, members of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine (Pyriatyn city), took place. The event was attended by the Mayor of Lubny, Oleksandr Hrytsayenko, colleagues from the artistic community, and art enthusiasts.
"The creative couple from neighboring Pyriatyn is well-known in artistic circles. Oleksiy and Oksana Ivanyuk are members of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine and the authors of many exhibitions of their own works, which have been presented both in exhibition halls throughout the country and abroad," as stated in the announcement by the Lubny City Council.
Oleksiy Ivanyuk's solo exhibitions have taken place in New York, Washington, San Francisco, and Warsaw. His works are also preserved in the National Museum of Fine Arts of Ukraine, the National Taras Shevchenko Museum (Kyiv city), the Museum of Cultural Heritage of Ukraine, and private museums around the world.
As seen in the presented exhibition at the Lubny gallery, the artist works in the genres of landscape and still life. Ivanyuk's works are characterized by emotional openness and a soulful warmth that conveys the harmony of life. Similarly, like Oksana Ivanyuk's paintings, Oleksiy`s artworks embody deep roots in the national tradition and Ukrainian cultural heritage.
The Mayor of Lubny, Oleksandr Hrytsayenko, highlighted this distinctive feature and noticed the special manner, brightness, and vitality of colors presented in the paintings of the couple. He briefly informed the guests about the main cultural and artistic events that have taken place in their city and invited the Ivanyuk family to visit Lubny more often. He also presented memorable gifts that will remind the guests of our picturesque city.
The guests were congratulated by the Chief of the Department of Culture and Arts, Yuriy Litovchenko, and colleagues: Volodymyr Miroshnychenko, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, and artists Olga Taran, Serhiy Shamatin, and Vyacheslav Horban from Pyriatyn, as well as friends.
The musical accompaniment was provided by Irina Gordiyenko, a piano teacher at the music school.
The next time, the creatively talented couple plans to organize a collective family exhibition within the walls of the Lubny gallery, where the works of the Ivanyuk's talented children, who continue their parents' legacy, will be presented.
