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.
