Short but explosive Bio

In the late 1980's several Moscow firms published illustrations and calendars of Ivanov's images, and his work was discovered by the German government, who invited him to take part in a Russian-German symposium. From there, he was invited to exhibit in Holland and England. His work was then discovered by galleries in America and Japan and is now widely exhibited throughout the world. He participated in over 30 exhibitions both in Russia and abroad.

In 1992 he designed the front cover of Sunday issues of Times Magazine. He worked as a designer on the Theatre Festival in Edinburgh. The artists works are in museums, corporate and private collections in many countries, including Princess Dianas private collection.

 In 1996, Alexander Ivanov perished in a studio fire, and a prime example of a spirit that knew no bounds was extinguished.
