Press release
A profile by Sandra Mayne, written on the eve of an exhibition of Zharotia’s paintings and sculpture organised by Art Today. She describes how he reaches the pathos of the human condition through its humour, with the clown as his central metaphor for the masks people wear in society.
Zharotia speaks of working day and night in his studio for two months, and of art as a search rather than a trade.
Art is a search for oneself… selling is not the purpose, the search is.
