"I present my landscapes, performed at plein airs in Poland and Slovakia last year. They mostly depict the winter city. I consider winter and autumn to be colourful periods for an artist. However, here are alsp my landscapes of Khust", says the director of the Khust Art Gallery, an artist Orest Tsiupko.
Another painter, Oleksandr Shandor, tells: "At the exhibition, one can see five works of mine –landscapes and still lifes. One of the works is called "Floating Fog". It was executed in 2016 on the pass between Studenyi and Rekity villages of Mizhhiria District. I really like this place and I often go on plein airs there. In addition, there is also a sample of still life – I like to put vegetables, fruits and household items together."
The exhibition will last for 3 weeks until the end of January.
