That school in the formation of individual palette Lyudmila Semykina were years spent in the studio of Professor Kiev Art Institute Alexei Shovkunenko. The creative legacy of the artist Ludmila Semykina is unique in the history of Ukrainian culture in the second half of the twentieth century.

But perhaps not the brightest feature of its creative talent can be considered original colorful attitude. An example of an extremely fruitful collaboration of the master and his pupils can serve creative talented Ukrainian Soviet artist Alexei Shovkunenko. Studying at the Kyiv Art Institute (hereinafter - Kyiv Institute of Art) in the 1949-1953 biennium. L. had in life Semykina decisive role in finding their own style of painting, and in the complex process of the formation of public positions. She was considered the most gifted student is not in the studio of A. Shovkunenko. Professor O. Shovkunenko was one of the most respected figures in the institute. In relations with the authorities he followed the minimum required loyalty, but do not become severe adherents in the ranks of the ruling socialist-realist method then. His painterly style was characterized Reporting objectivity, and the construction of a composition - high aesthetic level academic school. The situation in Kyiv Institute of Art was challenging for both the master and for his pupil. Despite these difficult conditions, O. Shovkunenko could inspire creative work in his workshop. Working occasionally on paintings with mandatory stylistic features of "Soviet reality", A. Shovkunenko primarily preferred genres such as portrait and industrial landscape. All painting temperament, all his passion for symphonic sound color Shovkunenko A. had to move to ideologically safe genres - landscape and still life. The same is true of his best pupils, despite the fact that they were trained in the studio of portrait painting and community. This genre was keeping close to the law of survival as stigma and unprincipled formalism easiest way was to get on the territory of ideological risk. Genre neutrality A. Shovkunenko somehow contributed to the fact that L. Semykina chose the same position in the art. Her paintings feature a state of self-absorbed contemplation, calm reflection, admiring simple things outwardly inconspicuous.

Shovkunenko in Soviet times, as if they were professionally made, treasury bears the imprint of socialist realism (Fig. 3). Image outstanding individuals fell within the rigid ideological regulation, so that the range of artistic means zvuzhuvavsya to a minimum. At the same time, in informal portraits of the artist's style is more relaxed and varied. The same difficulties in the field of portraiture and genre expecting L. Semykina. In the genre of rural landscape in the works of A. Shovkunenko, and the best works of L. Semykina reigns uninhibited impressionistic painting, which from the first independent work bears the mark of refined decoration. Especially diverse effects artists play unlimited variety of colored shadows, glare, reflections, color contrasts. Comparing L. Semykina painting style, its original construction in the form of conciseness items subtlety of a color palette with similar works of O. Shovkunenko teacher, you can see a lot in common. each student A. Shovkunenko who was trained in his studio, above all, was able to strengthen his own talent. It is not forbidden, but rather only encouraged teacher. Perhaps it is this fact and has become one of the main conditions of unity, which subsequently is defined phrase - Alex Shovkunenko and his disciples. L. Semykina continued pictorial tradition of his teacher, leaving his major dominant decorative easel works subtle sense of color and composition perfect harmony.
