Baklytsky Woodon (1942-1992) - Ukrainian artist-innovator, a prominent representative of postmodernism in Ukraine. He was born in the village of Novoyelovka (Kazakhstan) during World War II, where the family was evacuated after his father was wounded at the front. They moved to Kyiv (1949). Dreaming of becoming an artist, he studied independently: he read a lot, drew, copied the works of his favorite artists. He changed many professions, combining them with continuous artistic creativity. In his work he continued the line of Ukrainian and Russian avant-garde of the 1920s. In Soviet times he was in the underground. He held unofficial joint exhibitions with the artist M. Trygub at the old Brick Factory (1962). He participated in the exhibition of the informal association "Movement" (1977). He was a member of the group of artists "New Bent" (which also included M. Trygub and V. Borozenets). In 1990-1992 he was a member of the group of independent artists Strontium-90, who in their works defended the purity of the Earth's ecology. The works are stored in the National Art Museum of Ukraine and private collections in Ukraine and abroad.
