Author Description

Andrei Sharov is a multidisciplinary artist of international repute whose projects have taken him all over the world. Like countless artists before him, Sharov is enthralled by theatre and dance and is a celebrated designer of costumes and stage sets. He is a couturier of great originality and flair, a photographer, and also a painter of note, with his temperament inevitably leading him toward the expressionistic, dramatic, and extravagant--a hallmark of all his projects--and toward increasingly brilliant, combustible hues. Because he works across disciplines, even though they might overlap, he does not want to belong to any particular group of artists, preferring the independence of an outsider. -- From page 7.
