Sergei Chepik
We are sad to learn of the death of the great Russian artist Sergei Chepik. He died suddenly on 18th November in his studio; he was 58 years of age. The paintings of this extraordinary and prolific artist, and his vast range of subject matter was always a great experience to behold. His love of puppetry, particularly the Petrushka, can be found in many of his works. As one of Russia's greatest painters, he will be missed by so many people.
We have an online shop
We have opened a small shop section on the site. In it we are selling a number of paper sculpture packs that we designed and some toy theatre items. Please have a look.
