ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: We are thrilled to onboard the legendary, multi-award-winning painter, entertainer, and composer, Zinovy Shersher, as a featured creator. He is the first fine artist to amalgamate the creative disciplines of music and art, and his works have been prized by global celebrities such as Cher, Carroll Chanings, and Elizabeth Taylor, and such great collectors as Robert Rothchild. His distinctive style and unique flair won him a cult-like underground following among the higher echelons of the Soviet art and music scene. Still, his strong stance on Judaism rankled the authorities, which led him to create a life in the United States. Zinovy’s unbridled passion for his craft saw hi flourish in America, where he collaborated with contemporary artists and galleries. Among his many noted works is a 2000 square-foot mural titled ‘We Have a Future” which won him numerous awards as well as a Certificate of Appreciation from the City of Los Angeles. He was also commissioned for a painting with the portraits of the first Oscar winners for the 65th anniversary of the Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Apart from owning a stake in galleries such as Diansen and Sherberg in Los Angeles, Zinovy was represented by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art R&S Gallery and the Hollywood Entertainment Museum, and now at The Art International Museum of Arts, which is in over 100 countries. A fine composer in his own right, Zinovy has produced albums in native Russian as well as English, and scored the music for the movies “The Hunt for Red October” starring Sean Connery as well as the film “Lucky Numbers” starring John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow and others. Shersher is a voting Member at the Grammys. Hundreds of articles and on radio and television have been dedicated to Zinovy. His biography has been featured in acclaimed publications such Encyclopedia of Living Artists in America”, “Who’s Who in Art”, “Who’s Who in the West”, and “Who’s Who in the World”.   Zinovy is now settled in Los Angeles.
