Alexei Butirskiy February Show

A Proud Past
Alexei Butirskiy returns to The Key West Gallery February 17th & 18th presenting new original artworks and painting in gallery.  Known for his ability to capture the world around him with works that show natural beauty of a rainy city street, the peaceful calm of a cafĂ© in spring and the sunset over snow covered fields Butirskiy’s work holds its viewers spellbound and often speechless.  When viewing a Butirskiy piece it is easy to see why collectors continually are drawn to his impressionist styles, his creative use of lighting and the warmth that almost beckons the observer to wander through the scenes themselves.

5th Avenue
Alexei Butirskiy’s well developed natural skills feature the powerful relationship between light and dark throughout his works.  While many artists might see light as the most beautiful and important aspect of their work, Butirskiy allows shadows to play an important and sophisticated role in his art.  The finished product is a painting so amazingly realistic it rivals the best photographs while still producing the emotional connection that only a painter can create.  

Since 1996, Butirskiy has participated in over 100 exhibitions.  In the fall of 2007, Alexei was invited to exhibit his work at the prestigious Il Vittoriano in the Piazza Venezia, Rome, Italy the site of many important art exhibitions honoring Picasso, Dali, Chagall, Monet, Manet, Degas and many more. .Alexei’s work is proudly exhibited in galleries and private collections throughout France, England, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, The Netherlands, Canada, Mexico, Russia and the United States.  But only at The Key West Gallery does Alexei Butirskiy have the chance to share so much of his creative experience with fans of his work. 

Alexei Butirskiy’s will show will be open to all on February 17th & 18th, this is a rare chance to view his work and discuss his inspiration for his many pieces.  Special show pricing will be available on select pieces.  If you can not attend the show but would like to speak with an art consultant at The Key West Gallery about Alexei Butirskiy please contact us at keywestgallery@gmail.com.
