Kim Tkatch
was born in the Ukraine in 1963. He studied Fine Arts at the Kiev Art
Institute in 1988. His earlier paintings expressed "mystical"
feelings through cryptic patterns and mythical figures. In 1992 Tkatch
immigrated to Israel where his style began to change. Today his paintings
have a more realistic perspective although his work has a magical flair.
His still-life paintings come alive with juxtapositions of architecture,
sculpture or Mediterranean vistas. There is always a cheeriness and warmth
in his interior spaces. His exteriors are sun-filled, his colors rich
and saturated, his images are romantic and intimate. It is obvious that
Tkatch understands the exuberant potential of his subjects. He uses his
propensity as an illustrator to offer the viewer a new decorative insight
into the beauty of a bouquet of flowers, the Grand Canal in Venice, or
female figures lounging on a Mediterranean terrace. Kim Tkatch`s paintings
have been exhibited in Israel, the United States, Russia, England, Switzerland,
Belgium, Canada, Austria, and Australia. A prolific artist, his works
can be found in private collections worldwide. |
