For an artist, an art critic and a teacher Khrystyna Pryimak, born in a town called Sokal’ in Lviv oblast, a choice of a theme for creativity was obvious — folk art of Sokalshchyna .
During the exploration Khrystyna was always amazed by highly developed esthetic taste and understanding of beauty of local craftsmen, especially potters. Their perfect feeling of rhythm and proportions. With time, the idea of own rethinking, integration of ceramic motifs of Sokalshchyna in her own pictorial works. Khrystyna Pryimak used them as symbols, adding her own philosophy to it. Perhaps, it’s an unique way of modern artist to preserve and remind of unreal inheritance of Sokal’s ceramics of 19th – beginning of 20th centuries. An exhibition of painting of Khrystyna Pryimak is set to open in Green Sofa art gallery on 11th of November at 18:00.
The entrance is free. Gallery’s working time is 12:00-19:00, Mon-Sun.
