Here is a beautiful group of new originals by Irene Sheri capturing the warmth of family and femininity

Irene Sheri drew her inspiration from the work of Botticelli, Chagall, Kandinsky, Picasso, and Goya. However Cezanne and Matisse made the deepest impact. Avant-garde Russian students, Falk, Konchalovsky, Mashkov, Lentulov, were followers of these French artists. Calling themselves the “Jack of Diamonds”, a name proposed by Larionov (a member), suggested not only the roguish behavior of the avant-garde, but conveyed a love of popular graphic art forms…such as vintage printed playing cards.

At school, Irene experimented with images and colors, allowing herself to paint landscapes with contrasts of light and shadow similar to the “Russian Expressionistic Movement” of artistic predecessors. Irene’s style evolved from the influence of a renegade professor, who told his students – “After so many years at school you now are able to copy the world surrounding you. It is about time you let yourself create a world that is totally yours, that comes from within your soul”.

Irene’s paintings express her love of life, a toast to its wonder and beauty. Sheri’s talent and style were recognized in 2001 when she was awarded Russia’s highest artistic honor, the “State Award for Outstanding Achievement in Art”, naming her as the “Best and Brightest” young artist in Russia.
