Oleksa Bakhmatiuk (; 10 December 1820, Kosiv, now Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast â 15 March 1882, there too) was a Ukrainian master of decorative tile painting.
At the Kolomyia Industrial Exhibition in 1880, where Oleksa Bakhmatiuk works were displayed, he received a gold award.
Plots and creative style
In the depiction of people, Bakhmatiuk developed a special manner, a certain canon. All of them are clearly typified. The figures, as a rule, stand in profile. WomenâÂÂwhether urban or HutsulâÂÂare dressed in blouses and long skirts. Men are in short attire (only the depiction of the head changes: sometimes it is bare, sometimes it has a top hat (tsylindr) on it, sometimes a Hutsul klepania). The world of flora and fauna is widely represented by the master. Here, a flower that resembles a sunflower stands outâÂÂmulti-petaled with a wide, hatched (cross-hatched/shaded) middle. There are depictions of beasts and birdsâÂÂdeer, bulls, lions, and luxurious peacocks and roosters.
Bakhmatiuk, like other masters, invariably painted one or two images of Saint Nicholas on each of his stoves, in episcopal vestments, with sacred attributes in his hands, and a halo around his head. This was adherence to local traditions that had developed back at the beginning of the 19th century. On either side of the head were two figures (numbers) which indicated the date the stove was made.
Memory
A street in Kolomyia and Lviv has been named in honor of Oleksa Bakhmatiuk.
