Fairmount Exhibit showcases PAFA instructors, abstract art

Written by , Posted in Art, Arts & Entertainment

The “Fictitious Pleasures” exhibition at the Cerulean Arts gallery and studio on 1355 Ridge Ave. began this month. The display features two artists, Alex Kanevsky and Bill Scott, who both work with the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Center City. A native of Russia with a degree in mathematics, Kanevsky moved to Philadelphia in 1983 and after working as an illustrator for Yellow Pages and a psychiatric nursing magazine, he began attending PAFA and slowly transitioned into working as a full-time artist. Scott’s work, a combination of contemporary paintings and prints, has been recognized by publications like the New York Times. The exhibit will remain at Cerulean Arts until April 25.
