My Never-Ending Friend: The Art of Alexander Voitsekhovsky
6 August – 3 September 2011
Alexander Petrovich Voitsekhovsky was born in Moscow in 1964, but has lived almost all his life in St Petersburg. He has had some 25 solo exhibitions, in Russia, the USA, Switzerland, France, Japan, Israel and England.
‘An outstanding graphic artist from Russia, who stands out for a rare gift of bringing together warm humanity and playfulness, acumen and good humor. His endearing treatment of everyday life is always tempered with irony introduced through elements of absurdity, fantasy and surprise used with unfailing ingenuity.’
Elena Varshavskaya, Rhode Island School of Design
