Vasiliy Ryabchenko

Vasiliy Ryabchenko (born 1954 in Odessa, Ukraine) is a Ukrainian painter, graphic artist, photographer, author of objects and installations. One of the key artists in contemporary Ukrainian art and the New Ukrainian Wave. Vasiliy Ryabchenko was one of the first in Ukraine to start working in the installation genre. Since the early 1970s, the artist has also actively experimented with photography, which, subsequently, he uses in installations and collages, and also uses them as a material for paintings and creating digital graphics. He is also a founder of the Art Laboratory creative association.
