Volodymyr Hurin

Volodymyr Vasylovich Hurin (Ukrainian: Володимир Васильович Гу́рін) (born February 6, 1964) is a Ukrainian artist and pedagogue who has exhibited domestically and internationally since 1988.[1][2]

Biography

Volodymyr Hurin was born in the settlement of Moshchun in Bucha Raion, the son of People's Artist of Ukraine, Vasyl' Hurin (1939–2018).[3] Volodymyr matriculated at the Kyiv Art Institute (National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture) and there he received his tertiary education, graduating in the year 1990.[4]

His father, Vasyl' Hurin, belonged to a generation of artists known as the '1960-iers', who repudiated the constraints of Socialist Realism and embraced individual expression, nonconformism and the revival of the repressed national style[5] Like Volodymyr, Vasyl' Hurin graduated from the Kyiv Institute of Arts in 1958, and came under the tutelage of Karpo Trokhymenko, Leonid Chychkan, and Mykola Storozhenko.[6]

Artistic Career & Oeuvre

Hurin's body of works extends across landscape, portraiture and still life. Exposed to the classical tradition of painting from a young age, Hurin is a representative of the Kyiv school of painting 'en plain air', initiated by Ukrainian masters such as Mykola Pymonenko and Vasyl Krychevsky.[1] Hurin's artistic lyricism, movement and dexterous brushstrokes are reminiscent of the Impressionism movement.[7]

In 2019 an immersive multimedia exhibition combining Hurin's work with the compositions of Volodymyr Mashika was held.[8] The compositions of Uzhhorod Music College graduate, Mashika, were performed by Hurin's daughter, Maria.[9]
