Irene Sheri – painter.
The daughter of a Bulgarian mother and French father, Irene Sheri was born in the Ukraine in 1968. Irene drew inspiration from the work of Botticelli, Chagall, Kandinsky, Picasso, and Goya. However Cezanne and Matisse made the deepest impact. Avant-garde Russian students, Falk, Konchalovsky, Mashkov, Lentulov, were followers of these French artists. Calling themselves the “Jack of Diamonds”, a name proposed by Larionov (a member), suggested not only the roguish behavior of the avant-garde, but conveyed a love of popular graphic art forms such as vintage printed playing cards.
