Steven Assael Exhibition in Naples Philharmonic Art Museum

A N N O U N C E M E N T: Steven Assael: Illusions of Reality Exhibit at the Naples Museum of Art

October 1, 2010 - January 9, 2011

 Master Steven Assael gave a workshop for us the Portrait and Figure Painters Society of SW Florida, Inc.  in March 2010 in Ft. Myers, Florida,  and we are extremely pleased that he is exhibiting his art at the Patty & Jay Baker Naples Museum of Art with the generous cooperation of the Forum Gallery, NYC.  

The Naples Museum writes: “Steven Assael is widely recognized as one of the leading figurative artists working today. His distinctive, realist paintings often convey an ancient (or is it apocalyptic?) atmosphere, the contemporarily-garbed denizens characterized by an air of resigned melancholy. A gifted painter, Assael is also a brilliant draftsman whose extraordinary pencil, charcoal and ink drawings are significant parts of his entire body of work. His work was seen previously at the Naples Museum of Art in the exhibition New Old Master. Assael’s paintings and drawings will be featured in this comprehensive exhibition.”
