Until 3 July 2009: Chambers Gallery: Vladimir Zhugan: Ukrainian Landscapes |
| |
| The exhibition runs until 3rd July 2009
Vladimir Zhugan was one of the most romantic Ukrainian painters of the 20th century. His colourful and energetic landscapes present a dynamic panorama of the Eastern Ukraine, creating a positive interpretation of the environmental problems caused by the rapid growth of industry in the vast Dnepropetrovsk region after the Second World War. Nature and technical progress co-exist harmoniously in his optimistic, spacious landscapes.
Zhugan spent his whole life in the Ukraine. He was born in 1926 in the village Likhovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region and died in September 2008 in the town of Dneprodzerzhinsk. He dedicated his life and paintings to his native land. As a teenage soldier he fought the invading German army during World War II. As a young veteran he studied at Dnepropetrovsk Art College between 1946 and 1951, absorbing Russian realist and European impressionist traditions from his outstanding teachers (Alexander Kuko, Nikolay Pogrebniak, Mikhail Panin and Stepan Kolesnikov).
This is the second exhibition of Zhugan in England. (His first was also at the Chambers Gallery.) We are proud to introduce this new collection to London’s art connoisseurs.

8 - 12 June 2009: The First Russian Art Fair London |
Leonid Kudryavtzev (b.1922)
Harvest Collection 1945
Panas Tytenko (b.1963)
Wedding Day
|
| The exhibition “DEREKA” at the Chambers Gallery shows the outstanding Ukrainian master Sviatoslav Dereka (born 1948) was inspired both by the Russian Avant-garde and by Ukrainian folk art. Thus one sees in his bold and colourful paintings the influences of cubism and futurism, fauvism and primitivism.
The First Russian Art Fair will take place from 6th to 8th June 2009, timed to take advantage of the huge additional influx of Russian art buyers into London for the Russian art auction sales at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonhams and MacDougall’s the same week. It is being organised in association with Robert Bailey Fairs - a company with over 20 years experience of organising quality events, including The Dorchester and The Claridges Fine Art and Antiques Fairs.
Danusha Fine Arts will be at stand number 14 at the exhibition and will feature prominent Ukrainian artists - masters in Realism, Soviet Realism
and Post-Impressionism. Works by Grygoriy Shyshko, Petro Magro, Leonid Kudryavtzev, Andriy Yalanskyi, Panas Tytenko, Olena Yakovenko, Mychailo Kublyk and others. To download a PDF with samples of their work, please click here.
