Mark Kanovich (B 1970) American, O/B. Titled "Family Charades" Signed in lower right. Three characters in costume. One on the shoulders of the blue coated in a white eye and long nose mask. Winged character has crown and long white nose mask. Smaller character with peacock feathers and white mask hugging blue coated character. Mark Kanovich was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, on May 1, 1970, and now lives and works in Tel-Aviv. The world of Kanovich is one in which man is constantly seeking love, beauty, warmth, humor and generosity. His fantastic realism focuses on dimension, movement and form, staging his figures through unique and sharp perspectives and unusual and innovative techniques, which fuse sculpture and painting. While his work is clearly inspired by the works of Chagall, Kanovich’s images are equally romantic but often invoke a poignant sense of longing. Overall size: 32 x 28 in. Image size: 23 x 19 in. #9
