About Zakhar Sherman: A combination of striking colors, bold juxtaposition of classical figures, modern elements and remarkable skill, makes Zakhar Sherman's work an incredible sight to behold. His work, primarily oil on canvas, is innovative and imaginative, and his avant-garde style is an undeniable conversation-starter. Referring to his work as revision art, Sherman often paints classical images and then alters them to create visual commentary on morality, society, art and other highly debatable concepts. The tricks and techniques he employs are masterful. His utilization of distinct lines, compelling themes, and his consistent use of panes to introduce and highlight elements, and juxtapose otherwise random images create visual riddles that demand the viewer's keen attention. His work captures, shocks and seduces the eye. Zakhar Sherman graduated from the Moscow Pedagogical University, and began exhibiting his work in 1971. He has participated in 60 exhibits throughout Europe and North America. He currently lives in Toronto, Canada.
