RUSSIAN ARTIST SERGEY CHEREP
By: Mike McLeod

"I came home once to find that Sergey had eaten a watermelon I bought...all of it.  
The next few days, I saw all these paintings with rich, red watermelon slices in them," recalled Renee Cherep.

Whether eating watermelon or talking with friends about their dreams, Sergey Cherep finds inspiration in his interaction with people and the environment. All of which culminates in bright, bold, primary-color oil paintings that are whimsical and Impressionistic in tone and style.

"You need feedback from people to be an artist,"
is Sergey's point of view.

Born is St. Petersburg in the old Soviet Union, Sergey began drawing at five after meningitis isolated him from his peers.  By eight, he was studiying art and attending art school. At 16, he was on his own, painting and sellling his landscapes, cityscapes and portraits on the streets of St. Petersburg.  Later, he attended one of the most prestigious art schools in Europe, the Serovo Art Institute, studying all of the classic forms of art.  There, he was encouraged to paint a broad range of subjects, but he excelled at landscapes.

Contemporary Impressionist Sergey Cherep, who was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, will demonstrate his painting technique at a downtown Rehoboth Beach art gallery, Friday. Oct. 19. Cherep, who has painted for 20 years, is known by his vivid oil painting and Monet-inspired techniques.

He later moved to painting in a Post-Impressionist style. Cherep said he paints from one to seven paintings a day.
