View the Panas Tytenko collection


Born 1963, Kyiv region

Panas Tytenko graduated from Kyiv Art College in 1981 and from the Ukrainian Academy of Fine Arts in 1987. He has taken part in exhibitions since 1990 and has had a couple of solo shows in USA, the last one being in 1999 and has been exhibiting in the UK since 1998 with several solo shows and participation in over 40 mixed shows. Most of his work is in private collections in the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium and Poland. Since 1995 his works have been sold at Bonhams and John Nicolson auctioneers in the UK.

“Tytenko's work appeals to a broad range of international audiences. ... The key attraction of his art is the way he approaches his subject matter, using colour to create an impression of light and warmth."
 
These... "form [in the] spectator a sense of tranquil enjoyment. ... Tytenko's still lifes are centred on flowers, usually in vases, sometimes in baskets. Tytenko's landscapes are typically of sunlit leisure in leafy settings, with the figures dressed in summery clothes, absorbed in some simple pleasant activity, reading, sketching, fishing, feeding ducks or paddling in the sea. Many of these images have the feel of holiday snapshots, but they differ from such photographs not only by the brushy technique which declares the painter's surface, but also by an absence of the self-conscious awareness of the viewer that is usually a feature of the holiday photo.” Dr. Pat Simpson (University of Hertfordshire)
