Pavel Amromin received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his MFA from the University of Florida, Gainesville. He has the distinction of being the only artist awarded a solo exhibition for the 2008-2009 Exhibition season. Amromin's porcelain sculptures follow a long tradition of table-top sculpture/figurines, but deal with far meatier issues than many historic precedents. Within this body of work, Amromin explores the concept of the boy as soldier and the horrors of war.
