  1. "A Tiger Entered the Orchard....," Maria Prymachenko, 1994.

    The full title of this work is "A Tiger Entered the Orchard and is Delighted That the Apple Trees Are Plentiful, There is an Abundance of Apples."

    Prymachenko (1909-1997) was a self-taught Ukrainian artist who rose to prominence as a beloved figure in the Ukrainian art world. In 1966 she won the Schevchenko National Prize, UNESCO declared 2009 was her year, and both a street in Kyiv and a minor planet are named for her. Her work graces a series of Ukrainian stamps. Picasso hailed her as a genius.

    Her work relies heavily on Ukrainian and Polesian folk traditions and fairy tales, so it may not always make a lot of sense to us Westerners. Still, the vibrant colors and sheer joy in her work is a pleasure to behold.

    Sadly, some of her works were destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and much is still endangered due to the conflict.

    Slava Ukraini!

    From a private collection.

  2. Currently being exhibited in Warsaw - A Tiger Came Into The Garden: Art of Maria Prymachenko.

    Prymachenko is a Ukrainian artist with a very striking and distinctive style.

    This sounds like an excellent exhibition.

    Here's another tiny #painting combining #gouache & #watercolour, #foxes & #sunflowers. Compared to watercolour, gouache takes ages to dry! And that's no bad thing as #WatchingPaintDry is one of my favourite pastimes! 🤣

    This is a 'warm up' piece to 2 compositions I'm preparing inspired by the work of #Ukrainian #folkart genius #MariaPrymachenko. I'm asking myself: what might she paint right now?
