TUROK ANTHONII

Within his school years he studied at children's art studio of the famous pedagogue Zoltan Bakonii in Uzhhorod. In 1953 he entered the Painting Department of the Uzhhorod College of Decorative and Applied Arts. In 1956 he was excluded because of the anti-Soviet propaganda during the revolutionary events in Hungary. It was until 1962, when he continued his education in college.

He worked as an artist in Transcarpathian Regional Art and Design Complex of the Art Fund of the USSR. He was actively engaged in painting within the 1970-ies. Since 1991 he has participated in collective art exhibitions. In 1997 the artist moved to Hungary, where he arranged several personal exhibitions and proceeded with his creativity.

The artist’s paintings demonstrate clear orientation on the classic traditions of the Transcarpathian landscape painting, as well as imagery and mood consonance with the masterpieces of Y. Bokshai, A. Kashshai, Z. Sholtes. The artist's works are positive, without signs of conflict, confusion, or drama. The author’s landscapes, still lifes and portraits captivate by the poetic and sincere tone. They are distinguished by the realistic style, pictorial plastic, colour precision on bold decorative spectrum.
