THE ARTS SCENE

Paintings by Viktor Tsapko exhibited in Edmonton museum

EDMONTON - An exhibition of recent paintings by Viktor Tsapko, titled "My Angel," was presented by Sofia Skrypnyk in an exhibition held March 28-30 at the Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum.

A recent émigré to Toronto from Ukraine, Viktor Tsapko was born in 1956 in the Kherson region. Upon the completion of his art studies in Odesa, he moved to St. Petersburg where he continued his work at the time of perebudova, before emigrating to Canada and settling in Toronto.

A characteristic feature of the artist's work, as noted in an introduction at the exhibition opening by Dr. Anatoliy Kruglashov of the Chernivtsi National University and visiting professor of history and political science at the University of Alberta, is their not fully articulated quality which leaves the act of completion or co-creation up to each individual viewer.
