Exhibition project "Magical artistic world of Marfa Tymchenko"

On September 15, the Goldens auction house opens a new exhibition project "The Magical Art World of Marfa Tymchenko", which is dedicated to the work of the artist Marfa Tymchenko, a master of Petrykiv painting and folk decorative painting, who started a creative family dynasty.

Marfa Tymchenko is a master of a wide range, the first laureate of the Kateryna Bilokur award. She is considered a new phenomenon in the art of folk decorative painting, and her name occupies a special place in the history of Ukrainian culture. Throughout her creative career, Tymchenko preserved the traditions of Ukrainian folk art and made a huge contribution to its development. Tymchenko's authorial style combined the Petrykiv and Kyiv schools, but acquired a vivid identity due to the professional performance of originally interpreted traditional motifs and the creation of new ones, which were distinguished by a lyrical sense of nature with its festive colors, changeability, folk poetry and a figurative generalization of what was seen and felt by the heart.

The school of decorative arts, which opened in Petrykivka (Marfa Timchenko's hometown) in 1936, played a significant role in the formation of the future national artist. There, folk masters - teachers of the school, taught their students on samples of local, Petrykiv ornaments. In the same year, 1936, Marfa Timchenko took part in her first exhibition and later received the first prize. And already in 1938, the craftswoman moved to Kyiv, where the flowering of Marfa Timchenko's creative life began.

Marfa Tymchenko's creative work is extensive. The artist worked in different directions: she created hundreds of original flower and plot compositions on paper, cardboard, canvas, worked in the direction of monumental painting, and also stood at the origins of the creation of the Ukrainian style of painting porcelain products. Paintings by Petryki craftswomen on porcelain products have gained considerable popularity and wide recognition, and are exported to many countries around the world, in particular to the USA, Japan, France, and Germany.

Plot motifs are a key feature of Tymchenko's works. The works, performed mostly in the landscape genre, had a plot component and were based on the motives of myths and fairy tales, poetry and songs of prominent Ukrainian writers, about the heroic past of the Ukrainian people, Cossacks, serf life, war and post-war years, views of his native Kyiv, memories of his childhood and youth Tymchenko recreated her incredible, magical world on canvases. Among the artist's creative heritage is a whole series of works inspired by and dedicated to the poetry of Taras Shevchenko. For these works, in 2000, Marfa Tymchenko received the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine.

A separate page of Marfa Tymchenko's creativity was the joint painting of the "Kazka" toy store on Velyka Vasylkivska Street in Kyiv in 1979 with her family. Sketches were also created by the family, together with her husband Ivan Skytsyuk and daughter Olena Skytsyuk, and artists Nataliya Guch, Nelya Potova, Nina Kirinenko and Tamara Zhukova helped to implement the paintings based on the prepared sketches. The paintings illustrated the plots of fairy tales, and the store itself became the most original and attractive place in the capital for years. Unfortunately, having existed for more than 20 years, in 2000, after renovation, all the paintings of the store were hidden under plasterboard (wall cladding).

Marfa Tymchenko's works are kept in museums and private collections, and her creative path is continued by her daughter Olena Skytsyuk and her granddaughter Olena Kulyk. Growing up in the creative, fairy-tale environment created by Marfa Timchenko, they followed the path of their mother and grandmother and are developing Petrykiv painting, preserving its traditions.

The exhibition "The Magical Artistic World of Marfa Tymchenko", which will be held in the hall of the Goldens auction house from September 15 to October 6, represents a variety of genres and subjects in the work of Marfa Tymchenko, because thanks to her inscrutable imagination, plants, flowers, birds, animals, human figures, landscapes, turned into a miracle that will amaze the audience with inexhaustible imagination, originality of imaginative thinking and world perception.
