Vasily Peshkun — is one of the few modern artists practising open-air painting. The works of the artist are an original diary of his observations and impressions. Vasily travels everywhere with his easel and paints. Thanks to this artist, unique and vivid people from different cities and countries appear in the gallery of expressive and distinctive portraits. The master is more often inspired by Belarusian landscapes, and almost in any weather it is possible to see him in the streets of Minsk. Vasily Peshkun puts on his canvases not only architectural features of the city, but also the quickly changing life. The artist also pays attention to such genres as still-life. Simple things and subjects from every-day life, the corner of a workshop with paints and brushes, a bench near an old well, the attributes and tools of rural work in a shed under a roof, flowers and fruit — here are the plots of his pictures. Such plainness of composition persuades spectators to reflect, forces them to feel a charm and the display of world harmony in every day and habitual life.
