Vania Zouravliov

Russian-born Vania Zouravliov was inspired from an early age by influences as diverse as The Bible, Dante’s Divine Comedy, early Disney animation and North American Indians. Something of a child prodigy in his homeland, he was championed by many influential classical musicians including Ashkenazi, Spivakov and Menuhin. He even had television programs made about him and was introduced to famous communist artists, godfathers of social realism, who told him that his work was from the Devil....

See more of his work HERE.

Heidi Taillefer Prints

Heidi Taillefer has two new prints out:

"Venus Envy" is a work emphasizing the beauty and potency of women and motherhood.

"Killing For Sport", part of a series of turn of the century vintage Valentines, symbolizes predatory love and seduction

Heidi's work is an original creative fusion of classical figurative painting, surrealism, contemporary realism, and mythology combined with popular figurative traditions ranging from victorian romanticism to science fiction....prints available HERE.

Mary Iverson Art

These works are from Mary Iverson, who will be showing as part of a group show in SF's White Walls gallery next week with Augustine Kofie, Geoff Campen, Diana Ruiz, Richard Pearse, Moneyless, Brendan Monroe and Gregory Ito.. According to White Walls, "Linear Empires showcases artists working across various mediums, yet united in their pursuit of similar organizing 'visual concepts' such as delineation, color blocking, texture, contrast, line and geometry--all varying facets of design." Sounds like its going to be a very interesting show...
