Quite confusing entry. It's failing [WP:GNG] and almost failing [WP:ARTIST]. I didn't find comprehensive reviews, as well as exhibitions in prominent public galleries. There are some museum exhibitions, but they are private ones. If someone can find proper Ukrainian sources, that show notability, I will be willing to reconsider.

I will present proper sources and additional info to show WP:ARTIST. Need couple of days Udovychenco (talk) 12:30, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Below is the photo of the Order itself and and a Decree No.692 signed by Patriarch Filaret on Awarding of Order of St. Michael the Archangel of III class to Vladislav Metyolkin. These and all further photos are taken from personal web-site of the artist, in the section Biography=>Awards

1. Exhibition of V.Metyolkin in Program "5th Element" on 5 Kanal (Ukraine)

2. Solo exhibition of V.Metyolkin on TV Channel Kyiv

Moreover there is an article on this topic in ukrainian influental web-site Korrespondent.net "What hangs on the walls of houses in Koncha Zaspa!?".

Here's translation of the first subparagraph: "Such (art) is now represented in the museum "Spiritual Treasures of Ukraine" on Desyatynna street, 12. For the first time in Kiev painter Vladislav Metyolkin presented a solo exhibition of landscapes, which will last until March 18."

Besides, on the personal web-site of the artist in the section Expert Opinions one can find a rewiew of his art by Irina Gorbacheva, Spiritual Treasures of Ukraine Museum Director, art historian, member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine:

"Preservation of traditions is extremely important for the cultural development. I am glad that in the 21st century we met Vladislav Metyolkin, an artist who in his creative works adheres to high ideals of realistic landscape painting arts which originated in the 19th century. In his landscape paintings he combines impeccable preciseness of form with the astonishing culture of light and a thrilling emotionality. He is in love with the nature, and shares generously his love to it with the viewer."

Interviev with V.Metyolkin in St.Petersburg on 5 Kanal (Ukraine)

Here is direct speech of the first 30 seconds of TV report:

"Relations between Russia and Ukraine are not based on gas alone. As a sign of friendship leading people of Russian art opened the exhibition of Ukrainian artists - more than three hundred works are presented in a new art centre in St. Petersburg."Politics to the politicians, while artists focus on eternal." This slogan could best fit the initiative of one of the most influential cultural funds of the Russian Federation. Gather the best artists of Ukraine and present their paintings in the cultural capital of Russia – despite continuing political strife – the idea is almost incredible, yet successfully implemented."(0:00-0:33)

"The exhibition in the gallery on Nevsky (Prospekt) is only the beginning of a global program to support talented artists. Several grants have already been allocated, and four artists from Ukraine will have their solo exhibitions organized next year in St. Petersburg.

Vladislav Metyolkin is one of them; his paintings will be exhibited for six weeks during the famous white nights."It is important that nowadays people watch on TV not only the threshold or closing of some gas or non-gas pipes. Rather, they should see the opening of the arts centres, fine art centres, centres that unite people and not vice versa." This spring the Russians are planning to take out Ukrainian painters to plein air in Europe, and we only hope that it will serve a good example for our local art bosses. Dmitry Malyuga, Leonid Moseychuk. 5 Channel(1:29-end)

V.Metyolkin was intervieved in person, as one of the top ukrainian artists, invited to the exhibition.

After this successful exhibition International Foundation "Cultural Heritage" awards Vladislav with 2 Diplomas:


This exhibition is mentioned on the gallery page Vladislav Metyolkin Solo Exhibition and after this exhibition Vledislav Metyokin Art Album was published. This album is listed in Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine catalogue.
