"Iskusstvo"
newspaper #2(242), January 16-31, 2002 "Zapechatlennoje vremya. Tak nazval svoju vystavky Ivan Loukianov" ("Rendered Time" - This is How Ivan Loukianov Called His Exhibition")

Among the best recent works I would name pictorial compositions - subtle ornamental and rhythmic stylizations of European landscape themes. These paintings are obviously based on personal impressions that incarnate live landscape themes each shown through the prism of an artist's memory of his own country art. Such are the reflections about Vermeer in the "France Hals Street" landscape.

Ivan Loukianov has fully mastered many graphics and painting techniques as well as various compositional expression methods. He is by all means an artist who has an impeccable taste. He's facing substantial goals, and he is sure to produce significant works of art.
