Alexander SHEVERSKY ✿

'Quell'appena
percettibile
voce
timida
di labbra
sussurrate
si consuma
amorosa
nella mente
baciando
la pelle
entrando
lentamente
nella carne
lentamente...
nella giostra
intima
dei sensi
in estasi...'

~ Catherine La Rose©2013 ~

'In te morirò
Perché...
Non mi lascerò sedurre
Di
Solo pensiero......
Ascolterò cieca le tue mani
Pian piano come
Un'arpa
Sul
Mio corpo vibrare...'

~ Catherine La Rose ~

Alexander Sheversky (Александр Sheversky) - born in 1961 in Chisinau, Moldova (Russia) - studies at I.E. Repin Academy of Art - lives and paints in Moscow, Prague through late 1980s until mid 1990s - moves to Toronto in 1997 and to Vancouver in 2004 Striking a harmonic balance between classical composition and modern disposition an original oil painting by Sheversky speaks to an appreciation for the vocation to contemporary realism. Each canvas is stately and monumental, extolling the virtues of discipline and emotion styled by the foremost of his teachers - Rembrandt and Vermeer. The interplay of light and shadow and especially Sheversky’s inherent understanding of light bring a life to the painting that resonates and lives before the viewer. Whether it is a figurative study or a still life its own existence is captured by the emotive values of light itself that the artist exhibits, thus embodying the living, omnipresent nature of the subject. And so a Sheversky painting espouses a marriage of the meticulous detail of classical technique to that which is clean, modern, and conceptually crisp.
