After many years exhibiting his art throughout the country and abroad,
acclaimed artist, composer and a Los Angeles icon, Zinovy Shersher,
displays his art back home to LA. On Sunday March 22, a collection of
his paintings will be exhibited at the prestigious Petit Louvre Art
Gallery (www.louvreart.com) in Woodland Hills, CA, which will also be a
gala event where guests can enjoy refreshments, meet the artist and of
course admire the art.
After over forty years painting, writing and recording music,
Russian-American artist Zinovy Shersher (www.zinovy.com) has created a
unique blend of colorful modern and abstract images which exude the
soul of whatever image he portrays. Whether an image of a musician, two
lovers, or even a bowl of fruit, his paintings will leave you staring
and somehow you can feel what the artist felt. His vast collection of
art spanning many decades has seen much of the world and are admired in
many top private collections.
"I want people to hear the music in my paintings" says Mr. Shersher as
much of the painted work displays his other passion in life which is
music. He is an accomplished composer, singer, songwriter and plays
many instruments. Recently he was inducted to the Grammy Board as a
voting member for the work on his eighth album, one of which he
recorded with famed conductor Shelley Cohen and his "Pacific Pops
Orchestra in 2005.
As a resident of Los Angeles for over 25 years, Zinovy has become a
staple of his community through his work with UID Arts Foundation
helping kids and seniors, and in 1991 he received a Certificate of
Appreciation by the Los Angeles County for designing and painting a
2000 square foot mural entitled “We Have a Future”. This massive mural
looks over a community Multipurpose Center in Downtown and got lots of
press for being a community project allowing children and teens to
paint along with the artist. He was also commissioned to do a painting
with the first Oscar winners, including Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin
and other film legends for the 65th Academy Awards. The Painting was
exhibited at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum for years later.
