Anatoly Kantor, Professor of Arts:
"One can find in the works by Shevchenko that impetuosity and swiftness of his strokes, more peculiar to sketches, meet the same rapidity and energy of the painter's glance and the very way of seeing, perceiving and putting on canvas all his impressions. The spontaneity and instantaneousness of his experience and feelings can fully fascinate an impressionable onlooker."
Xenia Bogemskaya, Doctor of Arts:
"Shevchenko is traditional because at the close of our tumultuous century, when the "death of painting" and the "end of art" were announced more than one, he works with colour, abiding by the laws of easel painting and never opposing what used to be called "schooling" in the past.
Sasha Shevchenko appeared on the Moscow art scene fifteen years ago. Critics, both old and young colleagues, as well as collectors have been following his work with avid interest. Shevchenko's small intimate paintings are addressed to every viewer capable of feeling the fine sentiment conveyed by the artist in lines and colours. This is the art for urbanites, intellectuals, lovers of poetry and art connoisseurs."
Sergei Saphonov, Dmitrii Smolev, Gallery "Kovcheg":
"Despite the tradition to exhibit the heritage of forgotten authors, the gallery "Kovcheg" decided to turn to the works by modern Moscow artist Alexander Shevchenko. The simple reason for this is that Sasha Shevchenko becomes the real person who prolongs the tradition of universal, independent on time mounted (easel) fine arts. His works show the continuity of artistic language of painters of different decades of XX century, like Sophronova, Daran and others."
