About The Gallery
There comes a moment in life when seemingly disparate events, efforts and visions come together to form a whole, like pieces of a puzzle that create a unified picture. The Dancing Elephant is the intersection of two creative paths; that of an artist and a musician. It represents the body of work of oil painter Alexander Volkov and pianist-composer Heidi Breyer. It is a gallery and performance space combined.
Owner, Heidi Breyer seeks to create a unique space for visitors to enjoy art on a daily basis and monthly musical performances through a carefully curated concert series.
About Alexander
Alexander is a Russian-American oil painter who was born in St. Petersburg in 1960 and has lived and worked in Hunterdon County for 30 years. His subject matter ranges broadly to include landscape, still-life, human form and cityscapes, all of them connected by his life long study of light. The gallery exhibits Alexander’s original oils and limited edition prints on canvas, printed, embellished, signed and numbered by Alexander himself.
About Heidi
Heidi Breyer is an award-winning contemporary composer, educated at Trinity College of Music in London, UK. She has released 6 albums over the past 15 years, including Moonlight in Empty Rooms which is a musical study of the art of Alexander Volkov. This is a piano-violin collection of original works composed by Breyer and performed by Breyer on the piano and Charlie Bisharat on violin. The Dancing Elephant is Breyer's latest project that further explores the interplay of art and music in an intimate, salon style setting. Concerts featuring Breyer's musical colleagues, and intermittently herself, will commence in the Fall of this year.
