Alexander Petrovich Wojciechovsky was born in 1964 in Moscow. Lives in St. Petersburg. Had worked for 10 years as an emergency room doctor, participated in expeditions in Central Asia. In 1994 the first exhibition of his drawings was organized by the initiative of his friends. "Art can not be poured into pharmacist’s vials with a label on each: against the lust for power, against avidity, against inflammation of superiority, against jealousy, for compassion, against the slavery, against boorishness, against disdain towards all living creatures… Art does not possess a particular medication form, but cures from vain temptations, gives the energy, strengthens immunity against social diseases, cheers the souls and makes us laugh at ourselves. I do recommend to follow the prescriptions given by the author of this book, artist and doctor Alexander Wojciechovsky."
Yury Norstein "...This is not literature though there are words here. There is line and colour, bit it is neither drawing nor fine art. Only having united and lost independence words and images do receive this independence and individuality. It is like a lock and a key to it – by themselves, they can possess some value, for instance, historical or mechanical, but they can lock or unlock something only being together. Alexander Wojciechovsky discovers his own world, immediately recognizable and resembling nothing else. We see those whom we have never seen and imagined; we feel sympathy and compassion with what has never been and will never be. Has never been and will never be – but does exist here and now, under this cover."
