Igor Panchuk

Central in the work of Ihor Panchuk is the image of a fantastic anthropomorphic creature. The artist deforms the proportions of the body, focuses attention on posture, gestures, facial expressions, thereby achieving psychologism and tension. In terms of style, he gravitates towards surrealism. The color of the paintings is laconic. Usually, the dominant color (often blue, green) is complemented by two auxiliary ones (red, yellow). In some places, the works are solved in monochrome color with light and shadow modeling of forms.

The artist himself says: "In my work, I constantly try to learn something new, to develop. He has been working on color for the past five years. As if he began to understand something in it. Now I pay more attention to compositions. And, of course, plastics. Poses, gestures, facial expressions - all this is important for my characters. As they say, the devil is in the details. In general, for me painting, each specific picture is not an end in itself, but only a tool to influence the viewer. And everything, every detail is important in it. The main task is to achieve a certain state, immerse the viewer in a certain environment, emotion. At the same time, the work should be alive, not tortured. There should be a certain tension, drama. The color should vibrate. And in this process of creation, the most difficult thing for me is to finish the work. You constantly strive for some ideal, and then it turns out that it does not exist. This is a big pain! Signing a picture is like an act of surrender, it's like admitting defeat in this endless war with yourself."
