Igor Khoronko’s landscape “Approaching Winter” depicts late autumn. The central part of the composition is formed by several trees and a slope of a low mountain behind them. Tree leaves turned dark red and almost completely fell off the trees. In the foreground, the artist depicted yellowed grass, the background is the sunset sky, which shimmers with different colors — from dark blue and turquoise to pale yellow and lilac-pink. The whole color scheme of the painting looks muted: the artist conveyed the evening lighting and enhanced the atmosphere of the approaching winter.
Igor Khoronko was born in Pyatigorsk on January 1, 1960. In 1985, he graduated from the Stavropol Regional Art School, and since the 1990s he has been engaged exclusively in creative work. Khoronko worked in the design art workshops of the Pyatigorsk “Kurortpromtorg” and then in the Pyatigorsk Park of Culture and Recreation. In 2001, the artist was accepted into the Stavropol regional branch of the Union of Artists of Russia.
Igor Khoronko still lives in his native Pyatigorsk. He has been working in various genres of painting for more than a quarter of a century. Most of the artist’s works are dedicated to Stavropol and the North Caucasus. Historical subjects often serve as a source of inspiration for him, and sometimes the artist paints fantastic works. For his landscapes, the painter chooses views of the Elbrus region and the surroundings of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, where he often goes on creative trips. Khoronko himself calls his works “a window to another world.”
Igor Khoronko’s works are in the Stavropol and Sochi Museums of Fine Arts, the museum-reserve “Lermontov’s House” in Pyatigorsk, the Akhmad Kadyrov Museum in Grozny, the Pyatigorsk Museum of Local Lore, the house-museum of the peredvizhnik artist Alexander Kiselyov in Tuapse, the Local History Museum of the city of Essentuki. Some of his works are kept in private collections both in Russia and in countries near and far abroad. Igor Horonko’s paintings can be found in museums in Prague, Amsterdam, Milan, Vienna, Krakow and other cities.
