Alexey Zoob is a Russian-born painter whose work reflects a lifelong dedication to monumental painting, expressive color, and classical artistic training. Born in Izhevsk in 1967, Zoob began his formal studies at the Art College in Saratov, earning a BA degree in painting and sculpture. He later continued his education at the prestigious Stroganov Moscow State Academy of Arts and Industry in Moscow, where he received an MA degree in monumental painting in 1991.
While still a student, Zoob participated in exhibitions in Tokyo, Moscow, and Stockholm, establishing an international presence early in his career. From 1990 to 1994, he completed commissioned murals and art projects in both New York and Moscow. In 1993, he became a member of the Painters and Sculptors Association of Israel and exhibited at the Moscow Modern Art Center.
Zoob later lived and worked in the SaNur Artist Village in Israel, where his work was featured in solo and group exhibitions, including shows at the Jerusalem Theatre Gallery and a solo exhibition organized by the American-Israel Art Foundation in Zefat. His career continued internationally with exhibitions and mural projects in New York, Washington, DC, Maryland, Paris, and beyond.
Since relocating to the United States, Zoob has presented numerous solo exhibitions at galleries and cultural institutions throughout the Washington, DC region, including the Russian Cultural Center Gallery, Glenview Mansion Art Gallery, Arts Barn Gallery, Smith Parada Gallery, and Strathmore Mansion Gallery. His work has also been exhibited internationally in Paris and featured in the Modern Russian Art Auction Project in Virginia.
Working across painting, mural design, and monumental art traditions, Zoob’s paintings are recognized for their dynamic compositions, emotional depth, and strong connection to both European and contemporary artistic influences. He continues to exhibit actively throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, New York, and internationally. In 2025, he presented a solo exhibition at Yellow Barn Gallery.
