The research is devoted to the analysis of the creativity of the Ukrainian master of vomiting glass of Slovak origin of Franz Chernyak, a bright representative of the art elite of Ukraine. A number of sources related to the peculiarities of artistic and critical understanding of complex creative processes inherent in Franz Chernyak. The relevance of the Gutna Glass in the creation of interesting images that have deep philosophical sound and great resonance in the world crisis is emphasized.The purpose of the article is to analyze the work of Franz Chernyak as an artistic reflection of the transformation of traditions of the Ukrainian art space.The research methodology is accepted. It includes both general scientific methods – analysis, synthesis, interdisciplinary methods – comparison, systematization, and special methods – data collection method, photo fixation. In particular, the method of analysis was used in the consideration of the theoretical foundations of the master's creativity, synthesis – in order to generalize Franz Chernyak's creative work; comparison-to determine the features in the stylistic and technical and technological study of the works of dwarf glass; systematic – during the classification of creative work as an integral component of the artistic process; The data collection method allowed you to obtain detailed information on the direct accounting of works of art – review, measurement, ideas, design and compositional decisions; Photo Fixation – to identify the master's works.The scientific novelty of the results obtained is determined by the solution of the tasks set in the article, which are characterized by the first analyzed and classified works of Gutna glass of Franz Chernyak and systematizing them according to stylistic analysis.Conclusions. Scientific intelligence is devoted to the study of Franz Chernyak's work as an artistic reflection of the traditions of Ukrainian artistic space, the study and attribution of the master's works. The attribution was performed on the basis of comprehensive analysis, both stylistic and technical and technological research. The auxiliary role was played by a source analysis.Attention is focused on the domination of a wide range of ideas in the creative work of the master. It is proved that the artist's creative inheritance in Ukrainian guts is presented quantitatively and deeply ideologically and difficult to classify.The works of fantasy, mythical, surreal and allegorical themes are filled with humor and extraordinary aestheticism.Work with anthropomorphic motifs is highlighted. It is noted that the plastic of forms that are based on a circle, a cylinder, a bullet occupies an important place. Also highlighted a group of works of rowing glass is based on the construction of which is the sophistication of the composition composed of an ovоіd form. These simple geometric shapes are favorite and dominant in the artist's plastic. The focus is on such a classification of works, which mostly does not exhaust the amount of creative work of the master. The embodiment of creative ideas in the works of the master states and authoritatively declares that Franz Chernyak loves and respects tradition, at the same time he realizes that conservatism in "folk art" is his collapse, but not standard.Therefore, it proves that the creativity of the Gutniki was deprived of deliberate archaization. The artist believes that the apology of tradition is one of the characteristic features of provinciality.The properties of creativity, which is based on the philosophical understanding of being, expressed in a special artistic form, they are unique, so Franz Chernyak tries to recreate images in a strictly individual, inherent master form.The results obtained are relevant and important for understanding the development of the Ukrainian tradition of decorating art glass, they can be used as an example for a further systematic study of the development of hazel industries in Ukraine.
