Abstract

The article is the result of an art study of the author's clothing series by artist Liudmyla Semykina. The main focus of this work is analysis of the image-plastic symbolism of the clothing in the context of ethnic definitions, as well as the mythopoetic reconstructions of Scythian-Sarmatian and ancient Russian attire. The author's reading of the sacral, aesthetic, functional tasks of the costume became, in fact, a plastic embodiment of the artist's spiritual credo, which made it possible to draw parallels with the ancient cultures that influenced the formation of the megacultural context of modern Ukraine. A comprehensive analysis of the collection of L. Semykina's clothing revealed the peculiarities of the artist's plastic and plastic worldview, the nature of the formal techniques inherent in her artistic manner. The problem of synthesis of design, plastic and color solution of the structures is considered, where L. Semykina acts in the positions of theorist, artist, designer
