Inna Pavlecka-Tumarkin
Until 31 July 2022, we are thrilled to be showing three beautiful prints of original watercolour paintings by Ukrainian artist Inna Pavlecka-Tumarkin in connection with our chuffed.org campaign, Support Ukraine's Women and Children.
Since Russia's invasion on 24 February 2022, Inna has supported seventy women and children from Kharkiv and Kyiv, finding them housing, taking care of their medical, food and schooling needs and running art workshops for children and adults.
An internationally-acclaimed artist, she has exhibited in leading art galleries across Europe and beyond and has taught art for 30 years. Born and raised in Kharkiv, she now resides in Unterolberndorf, Austria, where she runs her academy Kunsthaus and continues exhibiting and supervising art programs.

The artworks we are exhibiting depict bustling Viennese streets and architecture in watercolour paint.
At first striking, these intensely coloured works have a self-possessed quality, a quiet strength that reveals itself with careful study.
The human forms in the paintings emerge/merge with what one can imagine is splendid architecture.

The shifting scale of the figures and the placement of colour is at once spontaneous and purposeful.
It conveys a sense of the bodies moving through rather than being subsumed by the architecture.
In this simple feeling, there is an air of resilience, freedom, hope and even something akin to spirituality - the full breadth of human emotion we can observe in public spaces.
Selected from Inna's prolific back catalogue, the works seem to speak to the current moment. They remind us of our collective humanity, the full breadth and depth of human emotion we can recognise in ourselves and others.
We feel blessed to have spent time with these beautiful works, and we hope you feel compelled to add one to your collection at home. They can be purchased as individual works or as a series of the three. Head to the chuffed.org campaign.
