Andrei Prychodko (born 1951 in Toronto) is a Canadian and Swiss citizen. He has lived mostly in Europe since 1971- in Italy, Paris and Switzerland as well as for extended stays in the United States, India, China and Mexico.

 Prychodko has worked in various media especially painting and relief sculpture. He has exhibited in Toronto, Rome, Zurich, Paris, New York, etc, notably with two galleries who influenced post war art history:  Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris and Galerie Nathan in Zurich. In 1979 the Galerie Beyeler of Basel advised him to show his work to Paul Facchetti who began exhibiting his work the following year.

Paul Facchetti, considered a "monument to French culture" is legendary for discovering and launching such artists as Dubuffet, Wols, Sam Francis, Fautrier, Riopelle, Henri Michaux, Hundertwasser etc. He mounted the first exhibition of Jackson Pollock in Europe. Prychodko is the last artist that he discovered and he showed his work in his galleries in Zurich and in Paris. Rudolph Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn attended the preview of his first show with Paul Facchetti in Zurich.

Galerie Nathan of Zurich was instrumental in building the Oskar Reinhart and Buhrle Museum collections. Galerie Nathan has sold old and modern masters and Impressionists to museums worldwide. Peter Nathan was also instrumental in establishing the artists de Staehl, Poliakoff, Esteve, Chaissac and Lapicque. The Prychodko exhibition at Galerie Nathan was presented under the patronage of Canada’s Ambassador to Switzerland, Mr. Jacques Dupuis.  

Prychodko studied briefly at the New School of Art in Toronto whose teachers were established Canadian artists. He then studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris and at the Accademia di Belle Arti as well as at the Scuola Libera del Nudo in Florence. He did not follow curriculums but studied independently to build a classical foundation. By special permission, he copied original master drawings at Il Gabinetto dei Disegni of the Uffizzi Gallery. He studied anatomy pertinent to drawing at the faculties of medicine at the Universty of Toronto and at Université Paris V as well as at La Specola in Florence. He received advice in figure drawing from the portraitist of Queen Elizabeth II, Pietro Annigoni.

Prychodko first showed at the University of Toronto, Hart House, where his work served as the backdrop to a concert by the New Chamber Orchestra of Canada.

Following an extended stay in New York, where he had a studio in the Hotel Chelsea, Prychodko’s work appeared at: Studio Erre in Rome, with two one man shows, as well as on consignment at the Galleria del Naviglio in Milan. 

Prychodko exhibited three times at Art Basel (known as the "Olympics of the art world") with Galerie Weber S.A. d’Editions of Geneva.

Mr. Seymour H. Knox II of Buffalo personally acquired two of Prychodko’s works and on the same occasion, offered to open, on its closed day, the Albright Knox Gallery to him and his wife Amanda Bayard.

 The Swiss bank, Credit Suisse, exhibited his work at their headquarters on the Paradeplatz in Zurich. Hulda Zumsteg asked him to fill a page in her guestbook at the Kronenhalle in Zurich.

During a three month stay in China & Tibet, in Beijing he met with Chinese calligraphers and painters and adapted their traditional techniques to his work.  

Prychodko participated in the project, "Figures Libres, Figures Imposées" which teamed artists with couturiers, to be shown in the Louvre at its Musée de la Mode Francaise. Prychodko was teamed with the couturiers  Christian Lacroix and Angelo Tarlazzi. 

When communism fell, the Minister of Culture of Ukraine, Ivan Dziouba, invited Prychodko in 1993 to mount a retrospective of his work in the State Museums of Art of Ukraine in Kiev, Odessa and Lviv (Lemberg) as a first cultural bridge between newly independent post-Soviet Ukraine and France. This proposal received the personal support of France's Minister of Culture, Jacques Toubon. The project was also supported by Germaine Viatte, Conservateur général du patrimoine français at the time director of the Museum of Modern Art of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, as well as Daniel Abadie, director of the Jeu de Paume in Paris. The Gallerist Enrico Navarra proposed to also exhibit Prychodko’s works in his Paris gallery in Collaboration with Ukraine’s State Museums and to publish an important catalog. Philippe Douste-Blazy, succeeding Jacques Toubon as French Minister of Culture, in turn also lent his personal support to this project. 

 Editions Acatos of Lausanne prepared the publication of a large format book on his work “From Eye to Eye” in collaboration with Paul Facchetti with a text by Pascal Bonafoux. 

Although these last three projects were ultimately not brought to term, they were milestones in his career.  His work has been written about in various publications including the Encyclopedia of Ukraine (excerpts under "critical analysis").

In 2005 Andrei Prychodko completed degree studies in Christian ministry, recognized by the University of North Carolina. He is an ordained pastor and chaplain and has acted as a non-denominational minister, teacher and conference speaker with a focus on prophetic, healing, and deliverance ministries as well as creativity programs, in America, Europe and Asia.

Andrei Prychodko's parents were the authors Nicholas F. and Olga Prychodko. He has been married with the artist Amanda Bayard since 1978 and currently resides near Crans-Montana, Switzerland. At present he is working on new body of work on paper and canvas.
