Ivan Tarasyuk is an artist of versatile creative range, he works not only in different genres, but also in different types of art: in painting, graphics, sculpture and creates works of decorative and applied art. The artist’s interest in human communication, circus, theater, music, jazz is reflected in his works. Ivan Tarasyuk is one of the few artists who turns to the embodiment of the theme of music in the visual arts. He visualizes the sound, transmitting it through the plastic movement, so he has many works depicting musicians. His characters are always given in motion, even if they are calm, then the internal movement - their feelings, thoughts are reflected on their faces. The artist subtly feels the vital impulse, and fills them with his heroes. The theme of the movement, embodied in painting, graphics, sculpture, ceramics, defined the name of the exhibition - "Ode to the movement."

The paintings and graphic works presented at the exhibition are distinguished by a complex composition, geometric pattern, harmonious color scheme. Miniatures executed on porcelain by hand are skillfully inscribed in the shape of the subject, and the painting itself is distinguished by its mastery of execution. The sculpture, as his porcelain works are plastically expressive, their images are filled with subtle humor.

In the works of Ivan Tarasyuk, the traditions of the Leningrad school of graphics, folk art, burlesque theater, elements of avant-garde and postmodernism merged organically. The artist’s personal style is individual and recognizable at first sight. His works are attracted by the eccentricity of vision, the fantasy of the embodiment of everyday plots. His creations are filled with love of life and a positive charge, their images are unpredictable, and sometimes paradoxical. In the works of Ivan Tarasyuk, performed in any material and genre, a new original outlook on life is embodied.
