Exhibition Opening October 29th, Chattanooga, Tennessee.

On Friday, October 29th Melissa Hefferlin, Daud Arkriev, and Daud’s son, Timur are exhibiting their recent paintings and drawings in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Melissa and Daud have international reputations; their works are collected throughout the world. Melissa has exhibited in the Hunter Museum of American Art and, I am proud to say, she is an ex-apprentice of mine.
Daud has incredible deftness and integrates classical Russian techniques with the vibrant fresh colors of direct perception and with, in is over life-sized pieces, ideological content.
Timur is incredibly talented; I have been blown away by the realism of his many, many paintings, and is, I think, 19 or 20 years old!
I will be there for the Opening reception at 5:30 P.M.
