Zinovy Shersher was born in Russia in 1947, and immigrated to the United States in 1980, after years of struggling to keep his own artistic vision alive under the watch of the Soviet Union's restrictive Artists Union. Upon his arrival, Shersher enrolled in New York's prestigious School of Visual Arts. It was not long before his art was flourishing with his new found freedom and began to receive critical acclaim in one-person and group shows in New York Galleries. He currently resides in Los Angeles. A composer as well as a painter, Shersher creates paintings with a lyrical quality that merges the emotional and intellectual into melodical images of passionate tranquility. A strong feeling for movement, expressed with curvilinear lines and cubist sensibilities, form a counterpoint to the artist's peaceful and harmonious themes. Zinovy Shersher's work is featured in significant and public collection throughout the United States and Europe.
