(SALEM, Ore.) - Two of Russia’s most renowned artists will be in Salem October 6th to launch a month-long exhibit of their work at Alessandro’s Ristorante & Galleria, 120 Commercial Street NE.

"Fiery Dance" will be on display

Irene Sheri and Andrew Atroshenko are flying to Salem via Los Angeles from their homes in St. Petersburg. “We’re especially proud because these artists will appear jointly in no other American city,” said Roger Yost, the Alessandro’s owner whose gallery has created an international buzz.

Sheri and Atroshenko are among 30 internationally recognized artists whose original works and limited edition prints are exhibited and sold at Alessandro’s.

“Irene’s artwork ranges from vibrant landscapes to sensual, romantic figures,” says Yost. “Andrew is known for his expressive portrayals of beautiful women, and brings passion and movement to every painting.”

The exhibit is called “From Russia, With Love,” and includes more than 30 of their new original oil paintings and signed and numbered limited edition prints.

Complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served during a public reception at the restaurant from 6:30 to 8:30 PM Saturday, October 6th.

Both artists are graduates of the prestigious Imperial Academy of Arts in Moscow, also known as St Petersburg Academy of Arts, which was opened by Count Ivan Shuvalov under the name of the Academy of Three Noblest Arts in 1757.
