Before Rehearsal by Alexander Sheversky – 24x48 inch oil on canvas of a ballerina in a red bodice and white tutu stretching gracefully before dance rehearsal.

Artwork Description

Before Rehearsal captures a quiet, intimate moment of stillness before performance. A ballerina stretches on the studio floor, her body poised between rest and motion. Soft light filters through sheer curtains, illuminating the delicate textures of fabric, skin, and tutu. Through refined hyperrealism, Sheversky expresses both physical discipline and emotional vulnerability, transforming preparation into a poetic meditation on dedication, grace, and inner strength.

Alexander Sheversky is internationally recognized for his hyperrealist figurative and still-life paintings that reveal the emotional depth behind everyday moments.

Artist Biography

Alexander Sheversky contemporary Canadian artist. Striking a harmonic balance between classical composition and modern disposition an original oil painting by Alexander Sheversky speaks to an appreciation for the vocation to contemporary realism. Each canvas is stately and monumental, extolling the virtues of discipline and emotion styled by the foremost of his teachers - Rembrandt and Vermeer. The interplay of light and shadow and especially Alexander Sheversky’s inherent understanding of light bring a life to the painting that resonates and lives before the viewer.

Whether it is a figurative study or a still life its own existence is captured by the emotive values of light itself that the artist exhibits, thus embodying the living, omnipresent nature of the subject. And so Alexander Sheversky painting espouses a marriage of the meticulous detail of classical technique to that which is clean, modern, and conceptually crisp.
