“Though it is tempting to suggest that his gently surrealistic images are a commentary on Western decadence, Yershov... has a more diplomatic take. The devoted dogs, dandy cats, humble goats and sneaky rabbits of childhood Russian folk tales are as much a part of his visual vocabulary as the gold, blue and red of ornate Fabergé eggs...”
- Los Angeles Times
"Valery Yershov, an up and coming star- not just on the Russian art scene, but- on the the world art scene, because much as the Chinese took over the auction houses and the galleries a couple of years ago, watch out, the Russians are coming."
- Charles A. Riley II, PhD, art curator, writer and historian

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (October 9, 2012)
Tatiana Takaeva- creator of Arttitud, San Francisco's premiere art gallery and design Showroom- announces that international artist Valery Yershov, will be a featured guest at a VIP art grand opening reception on November 14, 2012 at 111 Potrero Avenue.
"We are bringing a highly talented Russian artist from New York, whose pieces are collected by top collectors in the world, such as Mikhail Prokhorov and Gianni Versace and others. His work has been displayed alongside pieces by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Renoir, Dmitri Plavinsky and Mikhail Shemyakin. He is a rising star and we are thrilled to introduce Yershov to Californian art lovers. We will also have collectors from Europe and New York following the event," states Takaeva.
The fantasy fairy tale aspects of Yershov's work inspired Takaeva, but on a more pragmatic level, she connected to Yershov's unusual talent "I really appreciate his amazing skill and great sense of humor," she shares.
Anachronism is a steady motif in Yershov's paintings. In one, Vladimir Putin and Grigori Rasputin stand together in Cosmonaut uniforms. In another, Lady Gaga is a peasant maid in work clothes over a century ago. Robert Pattinson wears the naval uniform of Czar Nicolas in another. "I think he's hilarious and is famous for comic work, playing with pop culture and history" Takaeva says.
“I spent quite a few years creating this series, the paintings exhibiting in Arttitud will be shown for the first time in the world. They have not yet been in any exhibitions," Yershov proudly shares.
