Tie Magazine, Fall 2002
"Close to a thousand guests attended the opening of Alexander
Zakharov’s new exhibit my mind’s eye in SoHo.
A new beginning was dedicated to “childhood dreams”... The
paintings are small, the message is big: “We should wake up from
a bad dream and welcome a new morning, where life has a meaning...”
Anne Hech bought two paintings at once: “I am in love with
your work.” Jillian Anderson bought two. There are only 20,
and 18 are sold. That’s why this time Zakharov created a limited
edition of enlarged prints, for those of us who can’t resist
the beauty of the work but were not the first to see it..."
The New York Observer, 5/12/1997
"Zakharov's work shifted from primal, earthy
paintings of Siberian landscapes to scenic perspectives of the Hudson
River... His paintings.. vividly depict the dreamlike qualities of
nature.. "
The
New York Times, 6/19/1997
"The artist Alexander Zakharov was exhibiting miniscule pencil
drawings that required the aid of a magnifying glass to view each
canvas, an activity inherently appealing to children.."
Asian
Art News, 6/1994
"Zakharov's paintings are beautiful to
look at... there is the echo of Indian miniatures and medieval icons
and religious paintings of saint and martyr.."
