Grinevich
fearlessly mixes the aesthetic of pop-art with the fineness of forms
worthy of the Renaissance masters, seasoning it all with a pinch of
philosophical context and irony. Such a varied cocktail will not leave
you cold; indeed it will leave a lasting aesthetic and intellectual
aftertaste. While apparently simple in terms of content, Sergey
Grinevich’s works leave a deep impression both for their unmistakeable
style and their semantic content.

Valentina Shoba was born
in the town of Mozyr, Gomel region in 1964. In 1982 she graduated from
the Republican boarding school for music and fine arts named after I.
Akhremchik, and in 1989 she graduated from the Belarusian Academy of
Arts, graphics department. Member of the Union of Artists of Belarus.
Since 1989 he has been living and working in Grodno.
Valentina works in her unique technique, which she invented herself:
she takes cardboard, applies a special base on it, then draws - as if
engraving - an image on the dried layer of this substrate (etching
technique). Then she clogs the strokes with paint, and finishes on top
with pastels, oil and dry mixed. It is this technique that makes the
works of Valentina Shoba unique and immediately recognizable.
