Conclusions. The study of this topic makes it possible to objectively approach the scientific study of the progress of Bukovynian painting at the end of the 20th – the first decades of the 21st century in general as well as the heritage of individual masters. Artem Prysyazhnyukʼs works (years of life 1947–2017) include works of monumental art, tapestries, sculptures, and paintings. The study of the artistʼs creativity from the late 1980s to the 2010s allows us to track changes in his painting – a gradual transition from thematic paintings and works of journalistic nature to abstract compositions. Significant factors influencing the formation of the artistʼs painterly manner were attention to the compositional structure of the works, characteristic to the Lviv art school, and professional tapestry (A. Prysyazhnyuk was a textile artist by education). The latter identified the particularly important role of surface texture in the paintings of this author. The works of the late 1980s – early 1990s most frequently encountered journalistic motives due to the socio-political situation in Ukraine and the appeal to ambiguous and difficult periods in the history of the country. Later the greatest interest of the artist became the reflection of the emotional states and perception of modern events through associations reproduced by the ratio of color spots and the rhythm of lines, the play of various textures, etc.
