UKRAINIAN VECTOR OF CREATIVE SEARCHES OF THE CANADIAN-UKRAINIAN ARTIST VASYL KURYLYK
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the Ukrainian context in Vasyl Kurylyk’s artworks through the prism of his socio-historical coordinate system (origin, environment, psychological and mental state, formation of aesthetic artistic foundations, foci of creative formation). Research methods are applied on the basis of an anthropocentric approach, focusing on the personality of Vasyl Kurylyk and his literary (autobiography, explanations of paintings) and painting works. The author used principles and methods of historical-anthropological research in combination with biographical, iconographic, historical-analytical, figurative and stylistic methods. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author of the article analyzes the works of Vasyl Kurylyk, which have a clearly expressed Ukrainian vector. As a result of the research, the author concludes a powerful Ukrainian foundation in Vasyl Kurylyk’s consciousness and self-identification which was formed thanks to the stories of his parents, research and the significant influence of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada. It was reflected in the artist’s works, which have a Ukrainian vector. The artist’s autobiography gives us a clear signal about the artist’s indifferent attitude towards the country of origin of his ancestors. Interest in Ukrainian history, ethnography, literature, folklore, traditional Ukrainian customs and rites is reflected in a large number of works of Vasyl Kurylyk. While studying these works one might understand how acutely the topic of origin and reasons for parents’ emigration was experienced by the artist. Apparently, Vasyl Kurylyk tried to find answers to questions related to Old Country all his life. After his two visits to Ukraine at the end of his life he partially completed the puzzle of his perception of Ukrainian realities and hidden meanings. In our opinion, the main idea he wanted to express through his works with the Ukrainian vector is the statement that Ukrainians have never lost their identity and regardless of the troubles that happened to them, they always remained a part of the multicultural Canadian community.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
