ALEX KANEVSKY<\/h2>\n

Alex Kanevsky is an Russian\/American contemporary painter with a very personal style of oil painting. Kanevsky uses reality and abstraction to allude to both conceptual and concrete elements of the human experience, with nods to historical artistic influences ranging from Asian illustration to Modernism<\/p>\n

Alex Kanevsky lives and works in Philadelphia. His paintings have far-reaching global impact, due to both their broad appeal and the fact that the artist has exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Canada, Italy, Ireland, and the United Kingdom<\/p>\n

He studied mathematics at Vilnius University in Lithuania before going to the United States. After attending Pennsylvania Academy of\u00a0the\u00a0Fine Arts \u2013PAFA 1989-93, and winning a Pew Fellowship 1997, he devoted himself to painting full time. He has taught at different Universities and leads workshops worldwide.<\/p>\n
