Overview
- The Ternopil Regional Art Museum opened the show “Beyond the Possible” to mark Ivan Marchuk’s 90th birthday and it will run through the end of May.
- The display draws from local museum holdings with two private loans and includes Oleg Snitovskyi’s documentary photos and Mykola Dmitrukh’s caricatures.
- Regional leaders, artists, students and residents attended the opening, where the 2026 prize in Marchuk’s name went to Anastasiia Karpii for painting and Khrystyna Chornobai for graphics.
- Marchuk, who now lives in Vienna, missed the Ternopil event but greeted supporters at a tribute evening in the Orangerie Schönbrunn that brought in more than 500 guests.
- The painter is celebrated for “pliontanism,” a web of thousands of fine lines that build luminous images, and his career spans about 5,000 works and major national and international honors.
