About the artist: Ukrainian painter.
Yuri Vasilievich Kiyanchenko was born on May 11, 1911 in the village of Obukhov, Kiev province, in the family of Vasily Ivanovich and Maria Feodorovna.
At birth, Yuri was named, and after the exchange of passports in 1945, he was recorded as George.
He studied at the Obukhov district school.
In 1932 he graduated from the two-year Kiev Art and Industrial School.
From 1932 to 1939 he studied at the Kiev Institute of Proletarian Art (since 1934 the Kiev State Art Institute), where his teachers were K. N. Eleva, P. G. Volokidin, A. A. Shovkunenko, K. D. Trokhimenko.
After graduation, he teaches at the Kiev State Art School.
In 1933, Yuri Kiyanchenko met his future wife, Nadezhda Kompaniets.
Since 1939, he took part in regional, and then in republican and all-Union art exhibitions.
Member of the Union of Artists of the USSR.
In October 1941, the artist received a summons and was mobilized into the ranks of the Red Army. Two months later he was surrounded in the "Kiev Cauldron" and was taken prisoner.
Yuri ends up in the Khorolskaya Yama concentration camp near Poltava. But his wife Nadezhda miraculously managed to get her husband out of prison and they return to Kiev.
Period 1942-1945 - the time of the wanderings of the Kiyanchenko family through the territory of occupied Ukraine and Europe: first they live in Lviv, then they go to the Czech Republic, then to Austria. There they met the arrival of the Red Army and Yuri was sent to the Hungarian town of Vlasim, on the border with the Czech Republic, to an internment camp. Thanks to the assistance of a relative, who was an NKVD officer and to whom Nadezhda's father turned for help, the Kiyanchenko spouses are allowed to leave the camp and go home. It was December 1945.
In Kiev, Georgy begins to work in the workshop of the Kiev Association of Artists, leads an art studio.
Pictures that G.V. Kiyanchenko writes in the late 1940s at the beginning of the 1950s with success are exhibited at republican and all-Union exhibitions.
In 1954, the Kiyanchenko family received a workshop from the Union of Artists on the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. In the same house there were workshops of Mikhail Deregus, Stepan Kirichenko, Mikhail Chepik, Onufriy Bizyukov.
Georgy Kiyanchenko often went on creative business trips. I went on obligatory trips to the giants of socialist construction projects, and for my heart I loved to go to sketches, going out on a boat to the Dnieper.
The artist worked in the field of easel painting. Among his works there are thematic paintings, and landscapes, and portraits, and still lifes, and posters.
Georgy Kiyanchenko died on June 19, 1989.
