The real art does not get old ...

(Vera Savchenko, Ph.D., art historian)

Sergei Vasilievich Riabchenko, whether he is still alive, June 1, 2013 would be 90 years. Until recently, I was not familiar with the work of this talented graphic, but fate gave the meeting with his wonderful works. The grandson of Sergei Vasilyevich, Stepan Ryabchenko, today itself, despite his youth, one of the famous Ukrainian artists, decided to honor the memory of his grandfather create personal virtual exhibition. Otfotografirovav many works seized and sincerely admire him, Stepan presents them in series and cycles. Of course, a serious analysis of the creative archive is yet to come, and it is certainly a legacy that should be shown at the exhibition of originals and parallel to the history, but also the present, in a multi-display, with high-quality printing directory. The current exhibition is valuable primarily as a token of remembrance - of the living and the young to those who have already left.
Respect for and ability to appreciate beauty, worthy, high, to distinguish him through all kinds of political, ideological, technological civilization fashion, myths and innovation, which is full of our present existence. Because of this we can now in the virtual space to form an idea about one of the most worthy of Odessa graphic artists.
Real art does not get old ... amazing encounter becomes acquainted with a variety of the execution (drawing, linocut, lithography, watercolor), and on the subject of the works of Sergei Vasilyevich Riabchenko.

The volume stored in the family, the legacy of the artist, despite the temporal distance, bribes, has attracted considerable interest with us today for two good reasons.
First, from an aesthetic point of view, the work did not become obsolete. They have no naphthalene. On the contrary, that marvel of freshness, lightness sensations that creates their grace: fluttering trepidation stroke, deep tone stretch, textured "portrait" portrayed. Individual deserves admiration of color, with an aristocratic restraint and generosity here exempting his musical "party". It can be very easy tone spraying in the figure, as if privnosyaschy the objective world a special feeling, a vague experience, the secret flavor ... Or the color chords in linocuts and lithographs - seemingly simple and clear on the components, but with amazing flair and craftsmanship found in relationships and quantities, thereby creating a "double effect" of art when we are on the one hand there is a living, breathing world and on the other, we feel the undeniable presence of harmonizing aesthetics, accidental deletion, cutting off the excess ajar hitherto hidden and intimate ...
Second, these works, in spite of running time, leaving them in the status of the past, however, today and grab your own themes. I want to dive into the natural, untouched by civilization landscapes - Sednief, Vilkovo, Krasnoznamenki - in inviting the community to its rivers, hills, bent trees, bridges, rural huts ...
Or, on the contrary, to penetrate the heroic spirit (clearly present in the works!), Encouraging the work of port, and fill the whole movement of this large complex mechanism, the body of the port itself. It is clearly noticeable, and the remarkable rise, genuine enthusiasm for joy of collective labor, which today is so little and so many are seriously lacking ...
By the way, very interesting to look into these shops linking the industrial landscape of Sergei Vasilyevich, where natural forms so eloquently and at the same time harmonious contrast with the machines, the contours of cranes, cargo ships, etc. man-made forms. Peer and foresee some artistic dynastic line, which continued in his son in the painting - Vasily Riabchenko, with its tendency towards the use of geometric volumes in a variety of subjects ... And it is in its own way, is an object-sculpture and architectural forms, realizes the grandson Stepan Ryabchenko . Material change "scenario" is-going general feeling of prioritizing form, its aesthetics, understood in the best sense of the word: not snobbish attitude of arrogance in certain topics, manners, styles, but in the right and not subject to any doubt of his subordinate Beauty case.
Interesting because it is deeply and personally experienced, is the military cycles. In them, as in the films of the past few days ago Peter Todorovski, there is no pathos, but it is the greatness, the authenticity of the human disaster, the tragedy of a people and its prevozmoganiya all those clean, light and heroic, without which our people will not ever be defeated fascism.
And there is also preserved in a family meeting in the museum's collections and presented in this online exhibition works are those that can not affect the nostalgic strings in Odessa, it is here in the first place. The schedule of Sergei Vasilyevich Riabchenko captured a city that, alas, is partly lost, sprayed into the needs and claims of new "times and morals," the city that was being created with love and with no less sense sung ...
